Fate Seeker

### Fate Seeker, Chapter 1. Nihilism vs Optimism.

Infected stared up at God, God didn’t look like anything. He blended in with the nothingness and pale bleak void all around them.

"Welcome to the Book of Truth," God said as he then crouched down.

"What? Book of what!? Look pal all of Eden just got wiped out and they need your help! You have to do something." Infected shouted before he then remembered William, he turned around to see 404 still dead, still lifeless.

"I am doing something...I'm doing nothing." God said

"THAT’S NOT SOMETHING! THAT'S NOTHING!" Infected shouted

"Exactly." God said

"What? I- Look! Either stand and fight or you can send me back. I didn't ask to be saved nor do I need saving from some white man." Infected shouted

"I didn't save you, there is no such thing as saving anyone. So long as all exist there is no "saving" anything. You live in a world where the first thing they ever knew was Death, Darkness and Destruction. There is no saving your kind. Only prolonging the inevitable." God said Infected didn't know what to say. All he could think about is how William would be handling this better than he is.

"Something else asked for you, Go and find it. It's here waiting for you." God said as he stood up.

"Wait! Where is it? What is it!?" Infected shouted

"Where? There is nowhere here and no when. There isn't even **here**. Nothing is here, not even nothing. This just **is**. Beyond all fictional layers and beyond all things we are just. What you asked?...I do not know. No one truly knows what **it** is. You’re better off finding your interpretation of what it is. Goodbye Conduit of Destruction and Jacob. May we never meet again." God said before he then began to walk away and soon enough vanished into the vacant place.

Infected just looked around, there was no direction, no landmarks and no signs of where people had been. It truly was...just itself.

"I'm looking for something? Or is something looking for me? Whatever! I can't stand this cryptic bullshit! Forget this!"  Infected said as he then sat himself down. He then turned his head to 404

"Why aren't you moving or trying to solve the problem William...your known for that. Your a solver its what you do. You see something impossible and then just go towards it hoping to fix shit. Me?...I don't fix things...I just break em...I don't think...I just do it. Thinking is hard, it tires me...I hate it...I hate that you do it." Infected said as he grabbed his face in anger, he then stood and kicked 404's body.

"STAND UP! SAY SOMETHING!!! DO SOMETHING! ANYTHING!" Infected screamed, yet his words landed on naught.

"Why...why did you say that before...about feeling nothing towards me?...do you not see anything? Are you trying to push me away or trying to tell me something. I don't think like you do, I don't help people like you do. You decided that for me long ago. You made that choice. You...made me the villain." Infected said as he kicked 404 one last time. He mind racing with no idea on what he was supposed to do.

Infected was still sitting down with his head buried in his arms. 404 still laying on the ground. Lifeless.

He then remembered what God had said. Infected looked up from his arms.

"Going somewhere?" Said a voice. Infected looked around and saw nothing.

"Over here." Said the voice, Infected looked over, but remembered that there was no here. So where was he to look!?

"SHOW YOURSELF!" Infected shouted. However, soon the voices would stop. Infected hitting his head as he fell to his knees. What maniac.

He covered his face, what was he doing? William didn't care anymore and now...he wasn't even here. It was meaningless before when he didn't know if he was alive, but now he knew and he was gone. What was the point. What more was there to be?

"It was easier...when you hated me. You looked like some villain to overcome. You made out to be the bad guy! You turned me into a monster when you abandoned me!...Now I'm here, talking to the corpse of the very man I wanted to destroy...oh I never could have killed you. I wanted you to suffer, like I've suffered." Infected said as he fell backwards onto his back. He looked over at 404.

The two lied down for a while.

"...Must be hell down there...with that **thing**. It looked just like ya, yet didn't seem right. Uncanny really. You know anything?" Infected asked, yet no answer was given. "...Yea I guess I would be quiet too if I got murdered by a weird looking version of myself. Whatever, its not like I give a fuck. I could just be here all my life! Chilling with you and just staring off into...uh well, I can always just look at you i guess." Infected then turned over onto his chest and stared at 404. 404's head then fell to the side.

"..."

Infected then grabbed 404 and hugged him.

"...Don't leave me alone...please." Infected cried as the all too clear reality began to set in. William was gone, his revenge fulfilled by another's hand and yet...was it what he truly wanted?

"..."

Infected then threw 404 to the side. He got up and walked around, his mind gone completely, along with his ambitions and goals.

Infected backed away from 404 in disbelief.

"...There's no way this is how it all ends. The bad guy ain't supposed to win. We were supposed to do this forever till the sun exploded. THERE CAN'T BE AN END! THERE CAN'T BE!!!...There can't be." Infected said, within his mind all D2 could do is watch as a limp Infected laid in the chair with only purple embers near him...the last remains of his vengeance towards William. Spaz once again silent. He looked back, all the remains of Jacob withered and rotten, mushrooms of hopes now dead and gone as his body was no longer recognizable.

On the outside Infected began to punch the ground.

"NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!" He shouted

"I'm not supposed to...you...NO...please...WAKE UP!!!" Infected screamed, but there was no response. The idea...there may never be one began to have the once well know killer begin to cry. His thoughts mush when faced with the reality he had so longed for.

"I didn't want to kill you...I just wanted to kill 404...not...not William..." Infected cried as he scratched at the ground with tears falling from his sockets like a waterfall. He squealed and groaned like a child.

" NOooooo...no no no no no no..." Infected then fell limp, falling into a complete tantrum as he tore apart his clothes and cried out like a baby.

"William...WAKE UP!!! PLEASE!!! THIS ISN'T FAIR!!!! I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO FEEL THIS WAY AT YOUR DEATH!!! I HATE YOU!!! YOU WRONGED ME!!!!...So...why...why can't...why am I the one suffering." Infected cried as he started crawling to 404 and grabbing him shaking him.

"Please...don't be dead..." His tears falling on 404's face and into his hollow sockets. He then let go and let the body fall once again. ".........I've driven myself crazy....over a corpse...." Infected muttered as he then fell over too. He laid down lifeless just like 404 and stared at him.

The two were locked for what felt like eons.

Infected then rolled over onto his back and looked what he felt like was up. His head then looked at 404.

"...I hate myself..." Infected said

Infected was sitting up looking at 404.

"Hey" said a voice, Infected turned around to see D2 sitting behind him. Infected turned around and sat facing him.

"You're losing yourself, well whatever was left of yourself in the first place. Seems like Jacob's place in your mind is gone. Even destruction isn't present from what I saw unless he's dormant too. Spaz is still there, but that could be just from the body-"

"Unless you have a way to bring 404 back then get lost ghost." Infected said as he turned away.

"..."

"..."

"I may not be able to do anything, but you may be able to. That God guy said something was here for us. Maybe you'll find it if you just start moving." D2 said

"DON'T YOU FUCKING GET IT! THERE IS NO WHERE TO MOVE! THERE'S NO WHERE TO GO!!! THERE'S NO POINT TO ANYTHING!!...I should have stayed dead all those years ago, never accepted that deal with Muffet and done Ten's dirty work...I wouldn't be feeling...**THIS**." Infected said as he buried his face in his arms.

"...You mean the fact you killed your brother?" D2 said, Infected's eyes opened wide, yet he said nothing.

"You never wanted to truly kill him, you still care about him, you still love him. Hurting was always ok, but to kill him. Well how could you? You couldn't. I think what's happening to you is that you're upset like any family member would be after losing a loved one." D2 said

"...Get lost." Infected said clutching his arms.

"I can't leave, I'm part of you. I just don't talk cause you don't listen." D2 said

"LEAVE ME ALONE!!" Infected cried as his tears returned once again, him covering his face.

"CANT YOU SEE I FUCKED UP!!?!....Leave me alone." Infected cried

"I can see that...the question is...can you? And do you know what to do next?" D2 said, Infected looked over to see D2 stand up. D2 then looked at his hand and saw he was disappearing.

"What's happening?" Infected asked

"Seems like this place is doing some good for you after all, I'm vanishing from your mind." D2 said

"NO! No no no no! YOU CAN'T LEAVE ME TOO!! I DON'T WANT THIS!! I **NEVER** WANTED ANY OF THIS!!!" Infected screamed

"You'll be ok, you're just finally doing what I always wanted." D2 said, Infected looked at D2, his face a complete mess with tears rushing down and clutching his chest.

"Your finally listening to yourself." D2 said as he completely vanished leaving Infected's subconscious for good. Infected's eyes opened wide as he screamed a blood curtailing scream and then fell to his side holding his head. His tears still flowing.

Infected would wake up after a whole. He coughed before getting up.

He sniffed and then turned around. 404 was as still as a stone.

"That God guy mentioned setting before...guess We better get moving." Infected walked over and crouched next to 404, he looked at his jacket and touched.

"...I guess this time...I'll play hero." Infected said as he then took off 404's coat and then put his one. He stood up and looked 404's coat. He then put it on and bent down putting his coat on 404.

"Don't catch a cold...ok?" Infected said as he then picked up 404 and put him on his back.

"Let's go." Infected said as he then began to start walking with 404. He walked, not in a direction, but with an idea. He walked and walked and walked. Even though he wasn't sure what he was looking for, he was sure he may find something. He had to.

"...I want to say something, but I don't know what to say anymore. Feel like I've talked a lot in my life...maybe more." Infected said as he then just kept silent and continued moving. That's when they'd eventually see the top of a large tree sticking out of the ground with a Buddha like figure smoking above it. Infected walked over and set 404 on the ground.

"Hey weird guy! I got a few questions." Infected said

"Hmmmm, No, no questions, just answers I shall give." The Buddha said as it continued smoking.

"Look smoker, I don't got all day! There's something this God guy mentioned that I should be looking for or someone looking for me. So I was curious if you knew what that was." Infected asked

"You love him don't you? Your brother. That's why your bringing him along with you when you easily could left his corpse anywhere." The Buddha said. Infected didn't know what to say.

"Look dude, enough sappy bullshit or I start with cutting your little tree here." Infected said, threatening the Buddha who opened one eye.

"Well what's it going to be?" Infected said.

"Your mind. It seems whole yet I can sense you yearning for...interesting. you won't be able to make the journey if you can't conquer your demons." The Buddha said

"I've already fought and killed many monkey men. I just want to find the thing that wants to find me!" Infected said

"...Oh very well, just go." The Buddha said as it continued smoking

"Go? GO WHERE!? THERE IS NO WHERE!?" Infected shouted

"No, but there is you and your mind. Let it create a direction for you. Otherwise be lost forever. Keep going and you'll find something soon." The Buddha said. Infected then waved off the Buddha and sat next to 404.

"Any idea what that could mean?" Infected asked, yet again however he would have no answer.

"Right of course. Geez is this what its like to be you? Thinking is hard. Ok then. Lets figure this out, my mind can create direction? This place is called the book of truth. Maybe whatever it is I feel is true IS true. Then I say this is left!" Infected said as he then picked up 404 and hoisted him onto his back and started walking in what he felt was left. As they kept going they would begin to see massive chandeliers hanging from seemingly nowhere. They were decorated with statues of faces that Infected didn't know nor could make out for they were far to high above him. Even though UP didn't exist.

"Freaky" Infected said, he kept going until eventually he began to hear music playing.

"Woah! Music?" Infected said as he then got to running and saw a upside down ditch with an entire Opera house lying within. He could hear jazz and blue related music coming from inside it.

"Woah" Infected said

Infected made his way past the upside down Opera house and kept going until suddenly something sent him flying through the air causing 404 to go flying away from him. He landed on his face.

He then got up.

"Ow...huh? Will? Hey where did you go?" Infected said before he turned around and saw a horrifying sight, one of the gods of the Book of Truth had shown up and was dangling 404 like a toy.

"Now what is this? A new dummy for my arena?" Said the large creature, it was the Primordial Chaos. A God of pure unhinged chaos. One with no limit and one not even balance could stop it if it wanted.

"HEY! PUT HIM DOWN NOW!" Infected shouted as he then turned into his Hell!Seeker form and threw a Hell!Wisp hitting Primordial Chaos in the face, which had no effect on him.

"Oh? What is this...a little wasp travel out to the middle of the ocean. Just who or what are you? Are you in this place for something?" Primordial Chaos asked

"Ain't your business ugly, now fuck off! Before I ruin more of your body. I hate to get ugly and I mean scary ugly by the way not you’re ugly." Infected said, Primordial Chaos looked at him and then dropped 404 with Infected blitzing over and catching him.

"I see, so Truth must have asked for you. Well you're not what I was expecting. Alright then come along. I'll lead you to the monument." Primordial Chaos said as he began to vanish away while moving, Infected ran after him and followed by clinging onto the large creature's body. Infected then watched as they went all over or at least what all over could be for this place. They then reached it or the outskirts of the near center if the Book of Truth.

"This is as far as I go. Take care Infected one." Said the Primordial Chaos. Infected got off and watched as the large being left him. Infected turned around and saw a entire upside down city in the sky with a uncountable Infinite of worlds bigger than Eden ever could get. Infected then looked over and saw a figure in robe with a scythe sitting under a umbrella staring forward.

Infected walked over towards him with 404 on his back. As he got closer he noticed the figure was speaking. He was counting down.

"489, 488 487, 486, 48-" it then noticed Infected stop near him.

"Well, I never expected to see you here, old brother." Said the figure as it scratched its feet, which upon inspection were boney.

Infected continued walking through, to where? Who knows. He just knew walking got him somewhere. For all he knew the battle below could be over and all of this is pointless. He was aware and knew the definition of pointless though.

He knew he had to keep walking, no sign of real distance gained unless he passed by some weird monument or large showing of...well something.

He began to think and wonder if perhaps maybe people had been here once besides the occasional god like being and so on. Maybe something caused everything to look chaotic. Something horrible.

He then saw the reflection of that within himself. Thinking hard on what he had said he sat down. Pondering his thoughts. He wanted to be something else, something new maybe. But not different from how he was. He wanted to do new while not being new. He just wondered how such a thing can be done...how did William do it? How can He change while still holding an idea on who or what he is all while Infected was incapable of change...like as if he was always destined to stay the same.

"Is it wrong...to want more after you've taken so much for others. Maybe killing myself would be a easier solution than trying to find some new purpose. If the end of this new road still has you gone, maybe I'll just kill myself." Infected said as he looked back at 404's body laying on the ground. "How do you choose between venturing into the new and being absolutely evil?" Infected asked himself.

Infected sat down once again unable to move forward. That was until he looked to see a shadow on the ground. He got up and then looked up to see statues beginning to fall from the sky. He then ran away grabbing 404 and dodging falling statues. He then jumped forward, but however a statue would come down hitting him and knocking 404 at of his hands and sending him flying.

Infected would fall and cover his head as hundreds of large statues would come falling from the sky. Eventually after a long while they would stop falling. Infected would uncover his head as he looked and saw the filed of large and small statues all around him and yet no 404 in sight.

"Great...where did you go." Infected said as he walked around the filed of statues, eventually he would arrive to a odd set, a statues of Falklore wearing armor that seemed reminiscent to a dragon and yet had bat like wings. He stared at it for a moment before he kept going. He then saw a statue of Death in staring down at Vor who was much smaller than he was.

"...weird." Infected said as he kept walking through the mazes of statues till he got to something horribly familiar, it was a statue of Faker, Faker holding the dead corpse of 404 after ripping out his conduit soul and a petrified Infected watching from behind.

Infected's face twisted in anger, it was because of Faker that Infected had to change. It was his FAULT William was gone.

Infected then clenched his fist and punched the statue breaking it into millions of pieces, once the smoke cleared he then saw it, a larger than life Statue of Sol himself. He was overlooking everything, all the statues and even him. Infected covered his eyes as the whiteness of the Book of Truth shined from behind this titan. He then looked down and saw 404 lying flat on the ground. He took a quick sigh of relief as he walked over.

"Come on buddy, lets get out of here. This place gives me the creeps." Infected said as he reached for 404 only to have 404's hand grab at his own. Infected's face was pale with shock and disbelief.

"It shouldn't be this place you should be afraid of." 404 chuckled as he stood up and looked Infected in the eyes. Infected yanked his hand away in complete fear. Thinking it was a hallucination he punched 404 in the shoulder, but it only hurt himself.

"OW!" Infected said shaking his hand.

"Why do you look so scared? I thought you were the scary guy?" 404 asked as he then turned around and looked at the large Sol statue and smirked.

"Huh, never seen that one before." 404 said as he then blinked his eyes like a reptile before looking back at Infected, his eyes back to normal.

"This can't be real, I saw you die. That **thing**-"

"Don't worry brother, I'm here now. I saw your sorrow." 404 said

"You...heard...me?" Infected said nervously as 404 circled him.

"Oh yes I did, I have to say brother. It was very moving...I didn't know you cared so much." 404 said as he patted Infected's shoulder from behind.

"...I-I..." Infected stuttered before 404 turned him around to face him.

"Listen brother, Faker is still down there! I can beat him, but I need your conduit to do so." 404 said, Infected backed away from him.

"We don't have much time...aren't you tired. You know you were never cut out for the hero thing. Come on...hand over the soul and you can pretend this was all a bad dream and go back to the Astral Mother." 404 said as he stretched his hand out to Infected who looked at him, he then looked at his hands and saw how shaky they were.

"I am...tired." Infected said as he then looked at 404 who was smiling warmly at him.

"I know..." 404 said, Infected then reached out to 404 who looked at him with hungry eyes. Infected then punched him dead in the face only for him not to move a single inch.

"I'M TIRED OF BEING TRICKED! And by the way...that bitch was your mother." Infected said with a face painted with anger, 404 looked unimpressed.

"A **very** unfortunate choice...and no...no she wasn't." 404 said before he grabbed Infected's arm tightly and began to squeeze, Infected then began to feel the pressure as he then was forced to his knees.

"Could have made it easy on yourself....but I know how you AlphaTale scum love to fight against the inevitable. Heheheh" 404 chuckled in a distorted voice as his mouth reached all the way to each end of his face with a wicked smile.

"WHAT ARE YOU!?" Infected shouted.

"What? Don't recognize me?" 404 said as he then began to shift and change, his body breaking and bones cracking. Infected watched as 404 morphed into Faker right in front of him.

He was frozen in fear.

"That expression...that's the expression of someone who knows what's coming next." Faker chuckled in a distorted voice.

Infected jerked his hand away as Faker chuckled.

"H-How are...that's not possible." Infected said shaking

"Oh but it is. I'm here to take that last conduit and once I'm done I'll finally be the god above all! AHAHAHAH!" Faker laughed as Infected ran past him and into the maze of statues.

"Never seen a Infected run before, hehehe, go ahead! RUN! Makes it more fun for me!" Faker said as he quickly ran after Infected who was sweating and running wildly as he tried to escape. Faker chasing after him as he phases through the statues and his hand got bigger as he got closer.

"STAY BACK!!" Infected screamed as he then tripped and fell over, he looked back to see it was a statue of himself with it's leg out and covering their face. It was like perhaps even he didn't want to be saved.

"You done hiding? Or are you going to show me what the **real** Infected can do. I heard all the stories, saw all your lives and this is what becomes of you? A shriveled up crybaby...what a disappointment." Faker said as he enlarged his hand bigger than whatever distance Infceted could run on.

"It’s that easy, if I could kill the hero to your story what hope do you have, the villain? Hehehhe." Faker then wound up his hand and got ready to slam it onto Infected who had no idea what to do but simply cry and scream, a reminder to him of the state all of his victims in the past were in when he came around. He felt it. Getting closer, closer and **closer** until.

Chop.

Infected's face squeezed up until he them realized he wasn't dead. He opened his eyes slowly to find a face he wasn't expecting to see. It was Warlock in a different form and a form similar to that of a strange tall figure, skinny and with big eyes.

"What the..."

"Warlock." Warlock said

"YOU!? I remember you! Where is that monster?" Infected said getting up shaking and still sweating. He looked around and yet saw nothing. His sweat increasing as he fell to his knees.

"A...a hallucination...damnit...I really am far gone." Infected said as he covered his head.

"Warlock." Warlock said as Infected then looked up and remembered he was also here.

"Hey! How the hell did you get here? What are you doing here?! Looking to fight or something?" Infected shouted only for Warlock to shake his head. Clearly seeing Infected wasn't in a good mental state.

"Warlock Warlock Warlock, Warlock...Warlock." Warlock said

"STOP REPEATING YOUR DAMN NAME! I KNOW WHO THE FUCK YOU ARE!?" Infected shouted

"Amber" Warlock said which caught Infected off guard.

"What?...hold on, if anything here is defined by my personal truth than maybe I can understand you after all. I just have to believe that your way of talking is like mine and then I can understand you." Infected said only for Warlock to lightly smack his head, Infected was fed up with dealing with Warlock and would try to swing at him only for Warlock to immediately react and deliver a casual blow to the jaw and send Infected falling backwards.

"Warlock Warlock, warlock." Warlock said

"Son of a...I'm getting fucking tired of your bullshit, just who are you to me anyway!? Your not fucking family! Just some damn nobody I don't know!" Infected shouted holding his jaw.

" war-...warlock...war-...br...bro...." Warlock was holding his head as he tried somehow to communicate to Infected in a manner he could understand. Infected noticed and looked at him.

"...B...Ba..." Warlock continued to struggle with finding common words to say.

"Hey what the hell are you trying to say?" Infected asked, that's when Warlock's brain clicked and he finally found them.

"...Ba..Baby...little brother Jacob" Warlock said much to Infected's surprise.

He was frozen, with no idea how to respond however all Warlock did was smile and then embrace Infected who was still shocked to his core.

"...Another son?" He thought to himself confused. He had plenty of questions to ask Warlock now.

After Warlock finished hugging Infected he put him down gently and dusted off his jacket.

"You know my name...not most gods bother with that so maybe your the real thing." Infected said

"Amber." Warlock said

"Ok first off lets fix something, I known that your probably dumb as bricks, but at least try to nod and or shake your head when responding? Your jumble of words is confusing." Infected said, Warlock's face twisted with annoyance as he then smacked Infected against the back of the head. Infected then looked to him as he rubbed his head.

"Ah...ok so your not dumb, maybe you just talk funny then. Ok fine, What are you doing here?" Infected asked thats when Warlock pointed to him and then himself and then made a walking gesture with his fingers.

"...You want to take me with you? To where? Besides I can't go anywhere.  This place is some weird void. It dosent even have a where, when or whatever that guy said. Its like the grandfather of all Voids! And I've visited plenty." Infected said

"...Warlock." Warlock said as he easily created a portal to a whole other dimension that would let them out of the Book of Truth.

"WHAT THE FUCK!? HOW ARE YOU DOING THAT!?!? JUST HOW STRONG ARE YOU!?" Infected shouted in shock. Warlock looked at him and in the palm of his hand Warlock would create a Square, one with a perimeter, area and volume. He had essentially created space in a place that was vacant of it.

"...ok, that's the coolest shit I've ever seen." Infected said, Warlock smiled.

"Warlock." Warlock said as he grabbed Infected's hand and began to walk to the portal. Infected didn't think too much of it until he then remembered William and stopped before he could get any closer.

"I can't go. There's still something I need to do here. Something I need to find." Infected said fixing his hood.

"Warlock?" Warlock asked

"I...I made a mistake a long time ago...I was casted out from the ding family, left to die in the snow of snowdin." Infected said, Warlock's fist clenched tightly at the words coming from Infected's mouth of his life with Astral.

"But, I was brought back...I now realize that I shouldn't have been. Had I stayed dead things would have been better...but I'm alive now...I have to live with that, but...I can't leave William. If anyone deserves a second chance its him!

He saw something in me I never thought was possible again. While I still feel that resentment towards what happened, I've also come to realize something else too. That's the past...the past needs to die.

I no longer am looking for revenge against William, just that monster now. If even after everything I've done...William somehow thinks I'm capable of change...." Infected clenched his fist close to his chest, Warlock shocked at the words he was saying.

"THEN GOD DDAMNIT I WANT TO TRY!" Infected screamed out with all his might. He began breathing hard and huffing and puffing. Warlock clapped in joy.

Infected cracked a small smile, the first genuine smile in a long time.

"Even if these words are bullshit, even if my mental state may not believe it...my heart does...my soul is crying out for this to be so. So...so long as I believe in my heart! Thats all that matters to me." Infected said as he felt a small hand touch his back, he turned around to see a young Jacob smiling at him before vanishing. Warlock walked back into the book of truth and closed the portal behind him. He turned to Infected with a determined look.

"Warlock!" Warlock said with confidence

"Glad to hear. Lets do it then, lets find this truth of mine thats hidden away in this place!" Infected said.

"WARLOOOOCKKK!!" Warlock roared

"...eh, but we should probably find Will first." Infected chuckled to which Warlock looked at him confused.

Infected and Warlock would find 404's body and begin to walk out of the statue maze.

"Ok, glad we got him. To be honest...brining him back may do me more bad than good, but at the moment. Lets not think of that. Just focus on finding my truth." Infected said as Warlock carried 404 princess style and walked with him.

"Warlock" Warlock said as he looked to Infected.

"What? You saying you may know where I can find my truth? I mean...I'm guessing that's what you said cause ya know the whole language barrier thing and all that." Infected chuckled as Warlock rolled his eyes and walked past him. Infected running ahead to catch up.

"So quick question, but why did you attack me and William before if you know us already." Infected asked to which Warlock only made a silly and strange face that seemed to be a evolved emotion of happiness. Yup it was official, Infected pegged Warlock for a weirdo. However a weirdo he would need as he had no idea of what was going on here and would rather not bump into the Faker anytime soon...that is if he could get here in the first place. That was when they began to get deeper and deeper into the unknown of the Book of Truth. Where the line of the comprehensible and the capability to understand no longer existed and no longer could be done. Soon Infected began to feel like as if he wasn't moving at all, like as if every step no longer registered in his body.

"...shit...This is starting to get trippy." Infected said as he held his head and began to bleed from his nose, Warlock looked to him with worry and then began to keep "walking" with him.

That was when they eventually found, it. It was massive, greater than thing else in size. Warlock looked in shock at the sight and saw the planet of statues, the planet of faces, It was the Ark.

"Holy shit..." Infected looked at it, he saw the faces of everyone he had ever met, yet they're statues were small in comparison to others even his own. He saw the many faces Destruction had worn. He bared witness of the Devil's \*\*face\*\*. He looked down to the lowest point of the Ark and saw what was perceived to be Vermel, this dark creature, pumping and bubbling, this iteration of Eden's infamous Devil was his least charming face.

Warlock then shook Infected's shoulder and pointed to the top, where he saw what looked to be Nunn, Vor and a unknown...\*\*thing\*\* in the center holding the famous Being Slayer in it's hands and beneath it were the seven, they were beneath and yet also around along with other gods who were scattered and huddled together.

Finally the gate, this strange door with a small stairway leading to it. It was covered in strange "symbols" and "runes". Infected's metaphysical mind and self had no comprehensive explanation for what he was looking at.

"What is this?" Infected asked, thats when he heard walking coming near them, Infected and Warlock looked to their side ready to attack when they saw a man, a man with amber like hair walking over towards them with a long beard and a black cloth covering his body.

"Who are you?" Infected asked, the man stopped to them and said nothing, but he looked at the Being Slayer and then looked to Infected.

"Warlock" Warlock said turning his head to Infected.

"Can that thing do it? Can that weird sword bring William back?" Infected asked. The man nodded his head.

"Heh, Walk through this pale void, discover something in myself and then climb this planet of statues to grab a black stick to revive William. Can't be that easy. Where is the final test? I know this all must have been one." Infected looked around waving his arms. Warlock then saw something descend down and Warlock bowed along with the man doing the same. Infected still turned away was thinking on what he was to do after getting William back.

"So this is what the world sends as an attempt of discovery, you walk this fruitless path to suckle on the honey of destiny so that you may be sent away on your own ark of freedom. In hope that we hold the answers to your damnation.

You come here from the countless cycles of the world, from the countless worlds and the countless Nunns that governed over them. Now you stand apart, separated from God and his good graces, lead into a furnace of abnormalities and the arcane.

What is it you believe you will find here?" Said a loud booming voice, the mere echoes cracked and rippled through the endless void of the Book of Truth, the emphasis on certain syllables was enough to nearly tear Infected from his conduit soul, but most of all it shook fear in Infected that he had only felt once in his life and that was when he William had turned his back on him all those years ago.

The voice was nothing to laugh or scoff at, it sounded like as if everyone was speaking at once and yet had a distinguishable voice that made it sound seperate and unique.

Infected turned around and bared witness to one of the only **real** Gods.

He was face to face with **Unholy**.

End of Chapter 1

### Fate Seeker, Chapter 2, Talking with the Source.

[**Warning** perceive at your own risk.]

Infected turned around and found the form of this...**thing**, however the one thing it could make out was the face, it was mimicking the face of his mother the Void empress.

"..."

Infected was speechless, Unholy then changed its face to fit something else, it was a combination of all unnatural features of alien and  beast showing qualities that were undreamt of.

"How can I save William?" Infected shouted

"Ask me how you can't" spoke the voice of woman within the culmination that is Unholy.

"What is it I must do?" Infected shouted getting frustrated, the Man and Warlock looked at him.

"...You seem troubled, yet you ask for answers to what may give you more. You often strive for more than what you know you want.

A small farm boy seeks to visit the big city not knowing anything of the culture and atmosphere of such a place.

A sailor, who is aware of the sea and waves would find himself lost in the vastness of space where no landmarks can be found...only bleak darkness and void.

A small boy. A murderer, a brother. You are all these things, yet you don't have to be. You are splitting from your well know script, your archetype and role. You are splitting your own mind into ethereal pieces that all shatter into microcosms of infinite sets, all with their own Jacob, all with their own Nunn and all with their own cells that also hold within themselves keys to more doors that lead to even more doors.

Your asking, how to bring the microorganism known as William back into the world. Your journey for your truth has not even begun, you aren't worthy of seeing it. Not yet." Said Unholy as its face then shifted to a mixture of the religious depictions of Nunn and Vermel, both their features mixed together into something solid and most well known.

"What is \*\*it\*\*?" Infected asked

"The \*\*Truth\*\*. Go, speak with the Source and there you will find your solution and mayhaps you will then...be ready." Said Unholy as it then almost went into a dormant like state. Like as if it was a machine and only responded to those it hadn't interacted with already. This thing then devolved itself out of pure non-existence entirely and would then freeze like a painting, its own personal stain on reality or better to say it had made a stamp on what  Infected to be real.

"Great...well that was...an experience." Infected said as he scratched his head and turned around to Warlock and the man in the black garb. He walked over and shrugged.

"Any of you know what that means?" Infected asked

"Warlock!" Warlock shouted with the man looking at him and then Infected.

"Do you have some idea? Also who are you anyway?" Infected asked, the Man looked up at the being slayer, his eyes covered by his amber hair. The blade shined in his face until he then looked down to Infected and motioned for him to follow.

Warlock and Infected looked at each other, Infected followed the man while Warlock looked at the man speculative before following behind them.

"Do you talk? Can you do anything besides state off ominously?" Infected asked only for the man to ignore him as he kept walking.

"Just where are we going? Say something!" Infected shouted as the Man simply stayed silent until they arrived to small little area where lots of stuff was just thrown about, a tent, a stray smiled with a tree on it. Infected looked around as the Man removed his hood showing his massive set of messy long hair. The man looked around as he sorted through a large chest near his tent.

Infected looked around some more before sitting down. Warlock walked over and looked st the man and then him.

"Amber? Warlock." Warlock said

"I don't know, Some part of me remembers taking action most of the time. Nothing would stop me usually, but i feel right now patience is key to getting through this. This ain't some brawl I can beat everyone up and somehow everything magical works out." Infected said as he turned around to see 404 laying on the ground.

"I need to do this the smart way...his way." Infected said, that's when the man got out a black cube from his treasure chest and then closed it. He walked over and handed it to Infected.

"What is it?" Infected said as he poked at it

"AMBER!! AMMMBERRRR!!" Warlock said freaking out.

"What? Its just a stupid-" however just then something would break through book of truth and peer into it like it was a toy box.

"HOLY SHIT!!!" Infected screamed

"WARRRLOOCK!!" Warlock screamed with the Man simply staring up.

"That cube of Nullvoid code doesnt belong to you man of madness." It was the Architect and he \*\*wasn't\*\* happy.

Infected jumped back except for the man who watched as the Architect came standing on top of AlphaTale.EXE. Warlock and EXE hissed at each other with Infected holding Warlock back.

"That Nullvoid code doesn't belong to you. Hand it over **now**." The Architect said with a booming voice. Infected looked at the cube and then have it to the Architect who threw it to EXE who ate it.

"So, this is where you've been all this time? Hiding from the world? Or are you waiting for the right time to pop up again." He asked only for the man to say nothing. EXE then walked over and studied Infected who then pushed it back.

"Hey back off! Don't think for a second I forgot about you!" Infected said annoyed as EXE jumped in joy.

"Don't think I forgot about you!" EXE said in 404's voice which shook Infected a bit.

"You have some plan to enter the fight?, all the conduits are nearly extinguished. If you don't involve yourself, everyone will die. Also no word of the location of the void snake." The Architect said, the man's arm began to shake before he grabbed it keeping it still.

"Look this is all weird and nice and all, but I still have a problem. I was sent by some weird creature that talked funny to come and talk to the "Source", anyone got any idea what it could be referring to?" Infected asked, the man and the Architect looked at each other and then thought for a moment.

"Book of Truth entities are a ridiculous puzzle. I can admit that even I have trouble understanding their mind sets. However where I may fail something else of mine will succeed." The Architect said as it walked to EXE.

"Wait, that thing is yours? How the fuck is it so strong?" Infected asked

"Hm? Oh EXE was given strength by the one who seeks to Reset the world. After my creation, the Nexus, proved a success the god grew fascinated with it and helped with EXE's creation. Though it couldn't provide it a brain. No room." The Architect said, Infected looked confused and then looked to the man who just shrugged.

"If they asked you to speak to the source they likely may be referring to  one of the main sources of power that nearly everyone in the world uses.

...I don't normally allow such things, but since the world is in peril and you seem to looking to fix things I suppose I can allow you audience with the Nexus." The Architect said

"Really? Uh thanks. I'll try not to take up too much time! They only asked i speak with it." Infected

"However, if my assumption is wrong and you need to speak with the Cosmic Essence instead than my Goodluck goes to you as the Prime Mover isn't as nice as me." Said the Architect as it then had EXE create them a portal to another rift outside the book of Truth. Infected's hands were shaking a bit before Warlock put a hand on his shoulder. The man simply stared before following them through.

As they all entered inside they bore witnesses to the domain of the Nexus itself, **The Hub**. A place where all mathematics and things of equal nature all existed and were created and also surpassed.

"Welcome, to my greatest achievement. **The Nexus**" said the Architect

"Greetings, oh how may I be of assistance?" Said the Nexus in a very robotic voice.

Infected and everyone looked at the Nexus.

"Nexus, this mortal has been asked to talk to the source. Words directly from Unholy. Do you know anything of this?" The Architect asked, Infected watched as multiple fractions, numbers and symbols morphed together to make a androgynous face.

The Nexus took a moment before shaking it's face.

"I have no data stored of a interaction with this subject that could possible date to this moment."  Said the Nexus as it looked at Infected who was just staring at all the code.

It then looked over to the man, EXE and the Architect. It was processing everything once again about these figures, their history, past, present and future. Past cycle activities and even their future ones.

"Apologies boy, but it looks like this isn't the source your looking for." The Architect said as Infected then kicked the ground pissed off. The Nexus focused on him.

"GODDAMMIT! I'm reaching nothing but dead ends, I can't do this shit man! How do you do it Will!? All this prophecy and talk of source nonsense...I'm not smart like you!" Infected thought to himself as he put his hands on his face trying to think.

"There's no shame in giving up." Said the Nexus, Infected turned around and looked to it.

"I can't do that, I've already made up my mind that I would at least try." Infected said

"The Xeno, also know as Karvashal has already obtained over 70% of the conduit's powers while you've been here and trapped in the Book of Truths." Said the Nexus much to the Architect and the Man's surprise, even Warlock and Infected were shocked.

"How do you know that?" Infected asked

"I've been monitoring his actions. Though this isn't any different than what he's done before other times." The Nexus said

"What are you talking about?" Infected asked

"This isn't the first time you and me have encountered one another. I've run countless infinite sets of outcomes for every single person, monster, abomination, God and Edenfolk all across this world. All your outcomes are the same however, you reach us, the sources. You become broken, you hear our words and you give up. You let the world burn. You let your kin die and the world remains in the palm of Karvarshal." Said the Nexus

Infected began to shiver at the thought. Did he truly give up? What is that they said? What is that they did to convince him it was over?

Infected looked to the Nexus.

"...What did you say?" Infected asked hesitantly, the Man, Warlock and the Architect then looked at each other before looking to the Nexus.

The Nexus saw them all, saw their faces, knew their thoughts. their wants and their needs. He was desperate.

The Nexus's eyes dropped to Infected.

"Do you believe in second chances?" The Nexus asked, that's when the Architect took Warlock and The Man into another room. Infected looked at them before seeing the eyes of the Nexus again.

"...To be entirely honest...no. No not really." Infected said

"A honest answer, though your honesty with yourself is about 67%." The Nexus said

"You still didn't answer my question." Infected said

"Are you so determined to fail that your willing to listen to your own demise? Willing to hear how badly you will fail?" The Nexus said

"I've been disappointed before." Infected said

"For a man suffering from multiple mental disorders and showing 80% chances of suicidal tendencies taking over you sure like to suffer." The Nexus said

"...Answer the question." Infected said

"..., Karvarshal posses the conduits of not only balance, but now has both Immortality and Potential. He has also mastered the conduit of balance, much better than any previous user.

Your chances are beneath the concept of negativity itself. I could run more precise numbers, but I don't think your interested." Infected looked down slowly before looking back at 404.

"Can you bring back William? That's all I care about right now...he can take over for me." Infected said

"You realize what you ask?" The Nexus said

"What?"

"I indeed am 100% capable of restoring the life of William Ding Gaster, however. William's storyline ended much long ago. Precisely After the famous Chapter 12 of the main AlphaTale storyline finished, everything he's done afterwords goes against the greater scheme of the world. To go beyond your story length is to be beyond stories themselves.

With that said, if I return him to life he will no longer be capable of returning into the next cycle. Especially after how he died and his conduit was removed. You had the same thing happen, but your able to return to the next cycle cause you have your conduit.

Unless you retrieve his conduit, you will dooming him to a short existence. He will no longer be a conduit." The Nexus said, Infected looked in shock at those words.

"...my God." Infected thought to himself as he crouched on the ground shaken up.

"...though, there is some hope." The Nexus said

"What?" Infected said

"Now I'm not particularly involved in these matters. However there is one solution that may save him." The Nexus said

"What is it?" Infected asked

"The creation of an artificial Conduit, a sort of **bio-conduit** if you will." The Nexus said.

"MAKE A WHAT!? No way, that means having to talk to...uhhh. don't make me do it sweets." Pleaded the Architect to the Nexus who just sheepishly smiled.

"This is it, this is how we save William. A bio-Conduit. So how does it work? Let's bake this pie!" Infected said with wide smile, Warlock smiled too happy to see Infected happy.

The man nodded in agreement as he cracked his knuckles.

"Well based on how the cycle works Conduits didn't make too much of the Cosmic essence and myself too. However this time this one will be solely made by me. It'll take some time and which means I'll have to gather up a few things." Said the Nexus

"What about his soul? You can't program a soul." Infected said, to which the Architect and Nexus looked at one another.

"Then I suppose we'll need something from the Cosmic Essence after all, master if you don't mind." The Nexus said. The Architect groaned as he teleported away. Everyone then watched as the Nexus began forge and create a Bio-conduit soul for the husk of 404's body.

Everyone continued to wait and watch the Nexus do its stuff. The infinite Cardinals and manifolds within churning and moving like a cog in a clock. Mathematics were merely one cog in the uncountable Infinite sets of them within only for there to be a microcosm within each one making for more infinite sets within infinite sets, this repeated, forever.

Infected studied the Nexus and watched this literal built god create life, create reality and most of all and that's when Infected would ask it a question.

"Your probably one of the craziest things I've seen, a god of code and binary numbers. Yet somehow you outclass...everything. its honestly insane, but a question I wanted to ask you was of Nunn. What do you know of Nunn?" Asked Infected, this question got the attention of the man and Warlock too.

The Nexus looked to him and then thought for a moment before answering.

"I was once given audience with Nunn." Said the Nexus shocking everyone.

"YOU'VE MET HIM!? How is that possible!?" Infected shouted

"Anything is possible for **It**." The Nexus said

"It?"

"Yes, **It**. It wasn't Nunn, nor any other fancy name. It was just simply, what it was. I do not know the reason  nor do I believe I could process such one if it were to give it. However I do know one thing and that is I know nothing.

This thing spoke to me, it spoke on the things I represented and what I had done.

**Judgment**, that is what it gave me.

**Ceresto!** is what it said and I have still done what I done. Whatever this thing is that governess the lives of you and myself isn't anything like what the pope or the churches describe it as.

It is simply what it is." Said the Nexus

"What exactly is it that you do?" Infected asked

"I govern and create raw code, I am a solid representation that all is code and all is me. When I peered into the **Outside**, a place beyond places all I bore witness to was myself. That is what I saw and when my eyes were opened to this revelation I made it my goal to have all things represent code in its fullest.

Everything is a system, life is made up of systems, even you. You tiny folly microorganisms all have systems within yourselves. It is to my understanding that all life is created infinitely and you are not created into this world alone, but instead are split infinitely across space and time, your feelings, your emotions, your faith, your brain, muscles, skeleton and all are under a looking eye. Your eye, this metaphysical manifestation of your will.

Watching as your infinite cortex goes across these endless stories, \*\*forever\*\*.

Mahlo, hyper-Woodin, shelah, strong, tall, compact, subcompact to even 0=1 and more. I have full understanding that this world and its hierarchcal layers runs on these. That every living being, of every living world exceeds transfinite cardinality and its infinite systems. For I made you all. These children, you children are in a constant state of Indeterminacy, the world cannot be scaled, the world cannot be understood and the world cannot be comprehended.

This is my understanding.

This my holy grail that I now tell you.

This my showing.

This is, **The Indeterminate World**." The Nexus explained, the man and Warlock didn't have any idea what to make of any of what it said and neither did Infected.

Infected then made it his job to then see what was around the Nexus, they were Mainframes, Nullvoids and many more layers that lead to it. The Nexus had entrails that seeped from its purest self and attached itself to everything and everyone. However there was something even above the Nexus...a ceiling. It was cracked and leaking a white liquid yet I looked alive. Alive and wiggling yet also eager to be with the Nexus.

"What is that?" Infected asked

"That will be the new me, you see this is the last cycle." The Nexus said

"What?!" Infected said shocked

"But you just said-"

"You misunderstood, the last cycle however it will not be the last of us.

We believe that the world is about to enter a metamorphosis. That it will soon enter its next **childhood** and be born anew. As I will be born anew, better, stronger and even closer to God than I was before." The Nexus said, Infected shook his head at all of this.

"Hm? It would seem my master is having some trouble convincing the Prime Mover to give us a soul replica of William. I will send you to assist, since this is your voyage after all." The Nexus said as Infected would then be transported to the location of the Architect.

"Oh good your here. Don't speak just yet. Let me handle it." The Architect said, however Infected wasn't remotely paying attention for what he saw was unbelievable. A large Tree, it was made up of primordial stars, galaxies, nebulas, universes, multiverses, hyperverses and many, **many** things larger.

It was the **Tree of the Cosmos**. The birthplace of the Prime Mover and a tree seeping with power greater than the Cosmic Essence itself. However that would be nothing in comparison to what was behind him. He looked past the Architect and found the Prime Mover, this celestial and otherworldly being that didn't even seem to have a form, it kinda looked like a strange deep sea creature and yet not really. It was odd to look at.

However behind it would be the Cosmic Essence and it's most guarded secrets. The Cosmic Essence was quilt literally a primeval thing, its entire figure was much larger than anything ever would be. It was this strange flow, it had shapes, angels, a blemish and more.

However it also had a sort of churn and a spiral in its eyes that went on endlessly and would dig deep into its own subconscious. Until it would be perturbed out of its body like a waterfall of dreams, cosmic dreams...the stars.

"Ah, frail creature. Come forth. It has been a loooong time since I was in the physical presence of another living soul." Spoke the Cosmic Essence, its voice was milky, smooth and not nearly as rough as the Nexus and was much more...heartwarming. like a mother talking to their child or a beating heart pumping blood through through the ligaments of the body.

"...Hello, I'm sure you already know why I'm here." Infected said as his brain was like a too inflated balloon and was ready to pop at any moment at the incomprehensible presence of such a otherworldly force of nature. His brain and metaphysical just being in the mere presence of what would be better to be called his true parent would cause Infected's metaphysical self to line with eyes and tendrils elevating his existence to a much state. However this would become costly later down the line.

"Yes, you seek for me to return the soul of the lifeform known as William. This i can do." The Cosmic Essence said

"This is your fault. You and your connections are sullying my daughter!" The Prime Mover shouted in a strange otherworldly voice

"I am NOT to blame for your son's corruption, it is they that wish to be one with the world. Not I. Now listen, the world below, Eden, is in danger. Soon our places here may be at risk if we do not stop this all may be lost." The Architect said

"NO! We are busy here! Unlike you with your toys and trinkets we are seeking to elevate our minds to a new purpose.

We don't have time to deal with a dying race." Said the Prime Mover, the Cosmic Essence and Infected looked back at the two before the Cosmic Essence would look back at Infected who would stare at it too.

"However, do know that returning a soul destined and mended by the Cycle will have a price." The Cosmic Essence said

"Doesn't matter, just do what you gotta do." Infected said and with that, like as if it was nothing. The soul of William would be brought back in front of Infected, this small yet very powerful soul. Infected grabbed it gently with both hands.

"I sense you have questions. Speak them, this may be the last we ever meet." The Cosmic Essence said

"Well, yes. I've never met anything like you and would like to know...your thoughts on Nunn or God basically." Infected asked

Infected didn't have to wait a single moment.

"You ask me of Nunn, however Nunn isn't what I believe this world is about.

While our God may be incomprehensible it's actions are more so to this nature.

I've existed forever, no end and no beginning. Just as I am. I once searched for meaning and truth as well. I delved into the **Outside**, a area beyond the reaches of this world and all others. Nothing quite literally exist there. Not even the absolute void could be there.

I discovered that the Outside was me all along. With this I discovered the truth. I **am** all. I found that every person is within my consciousness as I am in there's. Each braincell being a will. The will of your truest self. A self that goes beyond God and seeps into the pataphysics of reality itself where your brain created these in search of a world of your own. You make your own stories, you make them as long or as short as you want.

We created **God**. Or better to say you did. Nunn did make you, you made Nunn. Mankind longed for a explanation for the cruelty, for the loneliness and the horrors of the world and so in response the will of man created God.

However I've seen the seat of God and it was empty. In response I've decided to sit upon it and give you the solace you so desired. The Cycle being a mere anomaly in the cog of the world.

Your very existence is very...peculiar. we all exist within the philosophy, the philosophy that God made us in his image and yet you and I don't look the same. Am I God? Or you? Perhaps there is no God at all. However I have come to the idea that perhaps maybe the truth lies within a deeper sea of thought than my own. Though I'm not sure." The Cosmic Essence said

"...well that didn't exactly help me. Damn. What the fuck did any of that mean?" Infected thought to himself.

"What were you expecting? Me to explain to you how well the world just mends together? No, what you given is my views, my truth and my understanding." The Cosmic Essence said as Infected just sighed, clearly exhausted from understanding or trying to understand what they were saying. He scratched his head.

"If you want a closer and deeper truth I'd venture back to the Wicked Throne and journey to the Mind of Menses. There you can find a deeper truth and then return to me." The Cosmic Essence said, Infected then noticed far behind it was a large Victorian school, it was floating behind the Cosmic Essence far, far in the distance.

"That is the school of **Lunar Learning**. A place where beings that seek to learn the deeper meanings to philosophy and learning of the Cosmic ways go to." The Cosmic Essence said

"Heavenly populated I assume." Infected said

"No, there have never been students there as even the abstract scope of the Metapotent beings that run govern most worlds would find themselves lost at the most simple of lessons." The Cosmic Essence said

"Sounds like a wet dream for Ares." Infected replied

"If you are more than finished, I think its time to go." The Architect said. Infected looked at the Cosmic Essence before walking to the Architect

Infected then looked up at the Tree of the Cosmos and saw strange large large creatures, Eldritch abominations hanging from the tree's branches that were many in number, each immensely different from the other. However he wouldn't get to look long before he was brought back to the Hub.

"Your back, how was it? What was **she** like?" Asked the Nexus in excitement, it was weird seeing it so eager to learn something.

"They were beautiful...father is still a pain, but you know how it is." The Architect said as Infected then revealed the soul and looked to 404.

"A soul, they really made one for him." The Nexus said fascinated. Infected then bent down and got on one knee. Everyone backed up and looked with EXE jumping up and down till the Nexus put a coded hand on its head calming it down.

"...I'm sorry it took your death for me to realize how important you really were to me. Not to my madness, but to me." Infected said as he then pushed the soul into 404's body which had a quick burst of light and power shaking back Infected who would be caught by Warlock.

"Quick, so the fusion is seamless." The Architect shouted as the Nexus then combined 404 and the Bio-conduit soul together and in a large burst of light would recreate 404's soul and would create yet another Bio-conduit in the lands of Eden. 404's body would fall over. Everyone stood back with baited breath, unsure of what was going to happen.

"Please." Infected said as he put his hands together looking at 404's body still refusing to move. The Man looked down at Infected and put a hand on his shoulder. However just as Infected was about to give up all hope. 404's hand twitched and he began to move.

Everyone looked in shock with Infected the most shocked of all. Then ran over and hugged the weak 404 who was shocked. He then wrapped his arm around Infected. Infected looked at him and saw 404's tired face likely after being dead for so long.

"You saved me?" 404 asked

"...I figured I might as well do the right thing for once." Infected said as he pulled 404 in for a tight hug.

"Brother." Infected said as tears rushed down his face, 404 couldn't believe what was happening or hearing. That's when he noticed everyone else. Warlock waved at him with a smile, the Architect just looked at him, the Nexus waved, the Man nodded and EXE jumped up and down in joy.

"Heheh...uhhh Hi." 404 said, he then stood up with help of Infected and looked around.

His mind was completely taken back by everything.

"Ok...this is amazing and all and I'm happy your...well you, but how is this possible? I was dead for sure, no soul and no conduit soul! How is this possible?" 404 asked

"Uhhh its a long story, but I'm more than willing to tell you the whole thing Will." Infected said with 404 and Infected sitting down and talking to each other.

404 fell on his butt holding his head.

"I failed...and Faker really won." 404 said in disbelief.

"Hey don't say that, we're gonna kick his ass so bad that they'll call him...uhh well they'll call him deceased." Infected said

"...ha...ha." 404 said

"...Look we'll take care of this. We got this! All that needs to be done now is meeting up with...uh well anyone who's left I suppose. " Infected said

"Like who?" 404 said

"You could try your siblings, they yet still live." The Nexus said much Infected and 404's surprise.

"WHERE ARE THEY!?" 404 shouted

"I can't believe they're alive. If we can meet up with them than maybe we can finally change the tide!" Infected said with 404 nodding and then looking at the Nexus. The Nexus then got ready to tell their location when suddenly a virus sign appeared on its face.

"What? A virus?" The Nexus said

"What? That's impossible, you can't have a virus." The Architect said and that's when out of nowhere the Nexus began to glitch and scream violently. It was a horrific scene one that had everyone petrified in fear until then two large distorted hands grabbed the Nexus and pulled it into a void behind it.

"WHAT THE HELL!? WHAT IS THIS MADNESS!!?!?" The Architect screamed out

"**Distorted laughter**"

That familiar laughter, no, it couldn't be. 404's mind went blank as flashed of Faker and what he did to him ran through his head.

However that was when.

"HeheheAHAHAHAHAHHAH!!!" laughed Faker from the darkness

"Th-Thats impossible!" The Architect said with fear in his voice, his face then appeared, Faker's face had changed into something incomprehensible and hardly able to made out.

"Hiding away were you? Trying to devise some plan against me? Well I got news for you! IT WONT WORK!" Faker shouted out, the man, Warlock and everyone got themselves ready.

"RELEASE THE NEXUS! \*\*NOW\*\*" The Architect shouted

"Or what? You'll kill me? Hehehe, I don't think so. Once I have this! There won't be anything to stop me! HehehehAHAHAHHA!" Faker laughed as he then faded into the void of darkness.

"Quick! We can't let him escape!" The Architect shouted as he then flew into the darkness with Infected and 404 hesitant to join in.

"William! We need to go!" Infected said as he then saw 404 frozen with fear, until Infected then slapped him.

"Hey!" 404 said now back in the moment

"WAKE UP! IF FAKER GETS THE NEXUS THEN WE'RE ALL DOOMED! Come on!" Infected said as he then transformed into his Hellseeker form and dived into the darkness with void closing quickly. 404's brain was stumped, how did Faker get here? Was he watching them? All these questions had to be held back as 404 then shook his head and then dove into the void with Warlock staying behind with EXE to keep the Hub protected.

404 jumped through and found himself in a tunnel of raw code and at the end of it was a strange portal leading to something else. As he looked he then saw a giant counter symbolizing how much of the Nexus Faker had absorbed. It was showing he had already absorbed about 20% of it already.

He then looked down to see he was standing on the equation of Pi. He looked over to see Infected looking ahead and seeing Faker looking back at them.

"Looking to stop me? LOOKING TO DIE AGAIN! That's alright, I was hoping to get my hands on destruction anyway!" Faker laughed as everyone got ready to fight him for the Nexus.

404's hands were shaking, the Architect then blasted at Faker who dodged out of the way before slashing at the tunnel and sending the Architect flying backwards, Infected threw hundreds of Hell!wisp at Faker and all he did was stare as they hit and popped like fire crackers against a wall. One of Faker's many limbs then grabbed onto Infected which then put 404 out of his trance as he then fired his god ray at Faker's hand, but it had no effect. He then looked over and saw a giant hand coming towards him, the Man then grabbed 40r and jumped to another large platform this time a giant number one. Faker held Infected and his eyes focused on him before looking at 404 and the Man with the Architect then appearing behind them.

"Bastard! COME DOWN HERE AND FIGHT LIKE A FUCKING MAN!" 404 shouted, to which the Man looked at him aware how weak 404 was to Faker.

"You sound like a baby, why would I deprive myself of such a pinochle position? Don't be a idiot. I thought 404s were smart." Faker said which just pissed 404 off even more.

"Oh what? You gonna wet your pants? Stupid infant! Why don't you stop complaining and FIGHT ME! DO IT! Pull off some stupid Plot armor rubbish or deus ex machina bullshit that's gonna beat me!" Faker laughed as he looked at the counter and saw he had absorbed about 35% of the Nexus. All 404 could do is growl as he was completely helpless.

"And you! You little damn fly,  thought you could escape me? Thought you work behind the curtains and I wouldn't know? FOOL!  Don't you know who I am!? What i can do!? Now your gonna end up just like how poor William did, only this time I'll be sure to finish you BOTH off this time!" Faker laughed

"That wont happen!" The Architect shouted with the Man then walking ahead of them.

"Oh? And what the hell are you going to do old man!? HAHAHAHAH!" Faker laughed as he then turned his head and saw OL!Overdrive and The one in Black flying through the other side of the tunnel and landing next to him along with Nunfamar and Edra appearing.

"...damnit, how the hell are we going to stop him!?" 404 said as Faker then looked at Infected and forcefully powered him down to base.

"NOOOOO!!" Infected shouted as Faker got ready to take his conduit, 404 and the Architect then noticed as the Man walked forward in front of them.

"Once we get back to Eden and the Nexus and Destruction are mine I'll be sure to kill off the rest of you slowly." Faker said, 404 went to stop the man, but the Architect stopped him and shook his head as Faker continued to preach.

The Man then looked down at a piece of code and kicked it faster than Faker could react and it went straight into his mouth stopping him mid sentence. Everyone looked in complete shock. Faker growled before he crushed it in his mouth.

"Oh? Think yourself a hero then? KILL THAT RAT BASTARD!" Faker shouted as Nunfamar and The one in black blitzed forward towards the Man and grabbed him only for the man to walk forward and the only thing for them to have in their hands is the cloak. His once amber hair now turning into a beautiful red. The one in Black then blitzed towards the Man only for him to knee TOIB in the chest and tear off a piece of his black cloak, Nunfamar then blasted at the Man who used TOIB as a shield.  Faker was dumbfounded, the Man then looked to Infected and then threw the piece of cloth so fast and quick it cut through Faker's hand.

"WHAT!?" Faker shouted, but before he could grab Infected the Architect teleported Infected to them.

"HOLY SHIT! That guy is wasting them!" 404 shouted in shcok

"He may be, but he'll need some aid. You two stand back and attack from afar, but only if its not dangerous. I'm going to go aid Falklore." The Architect said as he flew into battle, however 404 was just shocked at what he had just said.

"What did he say?" Infected asked

"...thats...it can't be...Falklore!" 404 said as the Man kicked and punched through his opponents with the Architect then joining him.

"Ok wise guy! Lets see what you got!" Faker said

50% of the Nexus was then absorbed into Faker.

Faker and Falklore would duke it out, Faker using his entire arsenal to try and kill Falklore best he could, but the hero was jumping and moving out of the way of every one until he started battling with TOIB and Nunfamar once again.

Faker looked at them and then looked at his cut off hand.

"...The resistance is getting worse. I need to finish this for good. There is still so much I have yet to understand." Faker said as he then looked to the counter

80% of the Nexus had been absorbed into his body, however thr Architect would then notice something and fall back returning to the Hub.

Falklore, 404 and Infected all looked back only for Falklore to get pinned down and for Nunfamar to then use his powers to subdue 404 and Infected.

"SHIT!!" 404 shouted

"So much for the Architect! WHAT THE HELL!?" Infected shouted as the two were then dragged to Faker's feet with Falklore struggling to get up.

97% of the Nexus absorbed into Faker.

"N-NO! Son of bitch! Damn you! You despicable MONSTER!" 404 shouted

"Hehehe, Don't sound so surprised. As if I'd lose to a bunch of amateurs!" Faker said

98.9% of the Nexus absorbed into Faker

"...After all that...it just ends!?" Infected said in disappointment

"Sheesh no need to make it so depressing. Just think of it as a looooooooooong vacation, cause you'll be dead. Hehehehe. You know, I'm a little sad. Sad I didn't get the chance to destroy that annoying alternate version of you from the Staffverse storyline.

Likely killed him and all his little pest when I detonated Eden. Kick in the balls that was. Oh and don't think for a second your getting out of this! Cause uhhh guess what I got?" Faker said as he then showed off the soul to the Conduit of Life. To which everyone looked at him surprised.

"Yup! Not only am I now the Conduit of Balance, Immortality and Potential, but now I got Life too. Which means I basically own you. Hehehe, yea I'd say you made a good effort against me...but I was never a liar." Faker chuckled

99.7% of the Nexus absorbed into Faker.

"WELL! It was...well I can't say it was fun cause that would imply I found some enjoyment in torturing you imbeciles. Really, all I feel for you lot...is pity. Pity and disappointment,  all those stories, all those chances to do the right thing and to see all of the possible new bright good endings you could have. All down the shitter. Heheh, must suck realizing that this was never that kind of story.

HOW STUPID DO YOU THINK I AM!? Did you really think I'd do all this unprepared!? I knew from the get-go you and your stupid protagonist bullshit would get in my way! Ya know at first, I thought if I took you, the original as my new vessel that would solve it...no, I learned through reading some of your information through the wiki and looking through your precious stories that wasn't going to be the case.

So! I decided that I'd let you \*\*think\*\* you were something. To let you believe that you had some magical power, that \*\*you\*\* were the main character and were going to save the world.

HehehehehAHAHAHAHAHAHA! HOW'D THAT WORK OUT FOR YOU WILLIAM!? IDIOT! CAUSE GUESS WHAT!? ONCE I HAVE THE NEXUS I'LL KILL EVER SINGLE FUCKING VERSION OF YOU EVER CONCEVED!

Rather its from this story or NOT! You know why? Because I can! I can do whatever I want and when all is said and done and I put Falklore's head on my throne to commemorate the moment I killed Eden's only hope, I'll remake my old home. Everlast. It'll be remade in **my** image, MY WAY!

Let's see those ancients try to exile me now when I'M THE GOD OF THE NEW WORLD!

Anyway uhhhh, looks like I'm just about done monologing...yeeeeah, I've had my fill and I think I'll just get around to the part to where I kill you all.

I know I said I was going to do the whole suffering thing, but that Everlast thing in my image sounds way too good and no way in hell I'm gonna spend any more time with you fucking poor excuses for heroes.

So goodbye, Farwell, adios and tooloo." Faker chuckled

Nexus 100% absorbed into Faker.

Falklore and everyone struggled against Faker, but it was to no avail.

"Now then, lets begin. How on earth shall I kill you?

With have the power I have a I could do absolutely and positively anything.

I could divide you by zero and see what happens.

Squish your existence into a singular factor.

Turn you into a literal paradox, but I think just killing you will do be wonders." Faker said as he looked at all of them still once again in disbelief of their situation.

However Faker would get ready to vaporize his opposition.

"FARWELL HEROS!" Faker shouted, everyone closed their eyes tightly waiting for death...but it didn't come.  Nothing did, 404 and the others would open their eyes to find a confused Faker.

"What the- WHY AREN'T YOU DEAD YET!? What sort of plot bullshit is this!!?" Faker shouted only to have the Cosmic Essence strike at him with rays of pure and raw power sending Faker spiraling. TOIB and Nunfamar would be erased completely by it while Overdrive took this opportunity to escape, not only from the fight, but from Faker too.

That would be when CoI would show up and land nearby.

"Well ain't this just a spotty mess." CoI said as he swooped in and nabbed both 404,Infected and Falklore by their collars and then zipped away before Faker could kill them.

"ARGH!!! YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! THIS DAY CANT GET ANY WORSE!!" Faker shouted as he then attempted to retreat only for the Nexus to pour out of his body like water.

"What?! That's not possible! I should be more than strong enough to store it now!?" Faker said as he watched it leave his body, Faker also noticed his body was regenerating from the wounds given to him from the Cosmic Essence.

"It honestly surprised me, surprised me that you thought you could absorb me." The Nexus said as both the Cosmic Essence and Nexus attacked Faker who at this point was out of his depth and retreated back to Eden.

The Architect returned with the The Prime Mover.

"Looks like we scared off that thing." The Architect said.

"It made an attack on the Nexus...if it had tried that with my girl." The Prime Mover said.

"Then we can't let it do so, It is time to put things aside for now. I appreciate you talking with me by the way." The Architect said, The Prime Mover looked at him and then looked to the Nexus and Cosmic Essence who were both looking at them.

"...Alright, but only for the safety of the Cosmic essence." The Prime Mover said.

"That's just fine. Think you can play nice sweets?" Said the Architect as he saw the Nexus and Cosmic Essence staring at one another.

However someplace else Falklore, 404 and Infected would get dropped on some hard wooden ground. 404 got up with his back aching and Infected cracked his neck.

"Feels nice to see you again hero, though I don't really like the beard." CoI said as he shook Falklore's hand.

"The royal family is safe, but not for long. We need a plan of attack. With that freaks army and those conduit souls even I am going to have some trouble.

We're gonna need you fully back in action." CoI said with Falklore looking a little dismissive of the idea.

"Well look who it is. Is that really you William? Or am I seeing a ghost." Said a familiar voice, 404 and Infected turned around to see Omni standing there with his arms crossed looking as blank slated as ever, however that would be when Alpha would come from behind him shocked and happy and with new pairs of cloths.

"No way" 404 said shocked.

End of chapter 2

### Fate Seeker, Chapter 3, The Reunion.

Faker fell back down landing hard, he looked as his battered body as he tried to regenerate himself.

"Damnit it all. I'll just try again, Perhaps if I evolve myself more maybe I could-" thats when Faker noticed a giant hole in the corner of his new version of Eden. His eyes darted around and moved towards his throne where he saw a man sitting on it. Faker growled as he jumped up to his throne and landed in front of the man.

"Just who are you supposed to be!?" Faker demanded

"Names O'Brien, Conduit of Passion. The pleasure is yours." He said, Faker looked at him and then grabbed him lifting him up.

"Conduit of Passion huh? I heard rumors that your much better than Will." Faker said

"And smarter." O'Brien added, Faker's grip tightened.

"I'm no fool, I'm aware of who are what Sol is. Now then, give me one reason to not kill you." Faker asked

"..." O'Brien then got his arm lose and pinched Faker's finger which immediately caused immense pain causing Faker to let go and for O'Brien to land in the ground.

"You will know your place BEAST, I'm not like those other conduits you killed. I'm a conduit,  a \*\*proud\*\* one. You will show me respect. Otherwise you can face the might of Sol." O'Brien said, Faker then heard a loud ringing like his ears had popped just at the mention of the name.

"...Why are you here conduit?" Faker said as he circled O'Brien.

"I've been seeing your work and remodeling of Eden, there are quite a few many things I like with what you've done. However your focus is off. Your not looking at the big picture." O'Brien said

"I'm not now? Just tell me. What is it that I'm missing?" Faker asked

"\*\*The Being Slayer\*\*" O'Brien smiled, Faker stopped and looked at him.

"...I assume you have means of getting it? If not you've just outrun your potential usefulness." Faker said

"Oh, No, but I do know it's location. The Book of Truth is where it's being kept. We reach that place and we'll have it." O'Brien said. Faker thought to himself for a moment before then nodding.

"I ain't no fool, that information is useful. I assume since your alive 404 really didn't beat you." Faker said

"That is irrelevant, for now what I need from you is your word. Your word that we may work togther, a temporary truce so that we both may get what we want." O'Brien said. Faker though for a moment, it was very likely that O'Brien meant to betray him down the line. However he couldn't ignore the valuable information he had and could give. So he'd keep his distance.

"His trust in me is likely nonexistent, however he won't deny me my role to play as he has no means of advancing past this point without information on the world he so desperately wants to rewrite.

So he'll take me, however if I am to have my way then I will need to keep my distance." O'Brien thought to himself.

"Alright then conduit, we have a deal. Lets go ahead and see where this goes." Faker smiled

"Pleasure to hear that, however I'd like to bring a friend along if you don't mind. Since he too would love to gain something from this." O'Brien said

"Who?" Faker asked

"Oh, just a scaley friend." He said with smirk.

All the brothers looked at one another their eyes on each other. It had been so long since they had all stood in the presence of one another and yet for them all. It felt like they had just met once again.

"Good to see you, Adam." William said as he went to hug him and for Alpha to embrace him warmly. They clung to each other like they had just been born together.

"...We won't be separated again William, I promise!" Alpha said. Infected looked at them and then his hand to his side. He softened his grip, he had no reason to fight...not anymore. Not here. Omni then walked to Infected and before words could even be spoken Omni embraced Infected warmly holding his brother tighter than ever.

"...I missed you too." Infected stuttered. He had much to get used to. Thats when they made eye contact, Infected and Alpha. 404 and Omni stepped back as the two stood in front of each other.

"I don't know what to say Adam...I've been so lost. I was a fool.

I tried everything to make you two hurt...when all I was doing...was hurting myself. I wanted your pain and his, yet all I ever got was mine.

There's no excuse for what I did and I hate myself the decision I made all those years ago.

I don't deserve your forgiveness, I don't deserve to be called your brother. All I want is-" however Infected wouldn't get to finish as Alpha embraced him too. Infected's eyes in shock.

"B-But I killed you, I strayed from that path of good you talked about...I didn't even try to fight back against the hatred. How can you forgive me?!" Infected asked

"I was never angry with you Jacob, I was sad and always crying cause I failed to show you the way to a better future. I was so scared you would never and always be a monster.

Yet here you are, you found your way home all by yourself. You found your way here." Alpha said, Infected gently hugged Alpha back.

"Thats enough coddling. We need to focus. Faker is still out there and we need-"

"Need to go home." Said a voice behind them. The boys turned around to see CoI and Falklore.

"What? But we have the advantage now! Why would you send us out of this?" Alpha asked.

"Your right, we do got a shot at killing this clown, but not with you four. You all have your own mission back home to take care of.

You've been a fantastic help, but sometimes, some characters should just stay in their story." CoI said with Falklore nodding. The brothers looked to each other.

"You still need to regain your conduit Ares, without the conduit of Will we might as well say goodbye to this whole effort.

Go, get back your conduit. We will take care of Karvasrshal." CoI said as he walked off with Falklore looking back at the boys and then walking away. The boys just looked at each other.

"Return to our story? Does he mean the multiverse? The Anti-void?" Alpha asked

"Yes...getting back Will is a good idea. Those BioTale fucktards still having it isn't good. Imagine a army of people all weilding fat boy's...sounds horrible just thinking of it." 404 said as he fixed his coat.

"No one else gets that reference but you blue jeans." Infected said

"Thats a horrible insult by the way." Omni said with his arms crossed.

"I don't need advice from the guy who died getting crushed by a giant pair of black ba-"

"Guys can we focus! If we're going to go back or what? I say we do it." Alpha said

"Go back or what? Fight that monster? You'd do as good as William did." Infected chuckled

"Hey! Still a sore spot!" 404 shouted back with Alpha waving away awkwardly.

"All we need is to-"

"Warlock." Said a voice behind them scarring them all collectively. It was Warlock he was standing tall behind them all. Omni immediately noticed Warlock as someone familiar and so did Warlock when they looked to each other.

"Greetings Peter, good to see you." Omni said

"A pleasure to see you again Ares." Said Warlock, while Omni could understand Warlock plainly the others were still hearing Warlock's intangible speech and him repeating his subject name.

"Wait, you know what he's saying?" 404 said

"Peter..." Infected said as he now knew the name behind the face.

"Who the hell is Peter much less Warlock." Alpha asked

"Warlock." Warlock said

"Hes our brother, the variant and opposite to your older brother Samson. His name is Peter." Omni said as Warlock patted Omni's head recognizing his younger sibling.

"Speaking of Samson, have you seen any sign of him Adam?" 404 asked

"No, I didn't see anything. I was hardly in the multiverse for a second before coming here." Alpha said

"We need a lot of us if we're going to beat a bunch of giant bananas wielding blue determination." Infected said

"Its a little more complicated than that." Omni said with a bit of annoyance in his tone. Warlock could only chuckle at their banter.

"Oh? Which part? The part where you died or the part where you lost to a giant banana." Infected chuckled

"Jacob? I haven't really heard you come up with anything. Would you like to add something?" Omni asked, but before Infected could finish Omni would interject.

"Thats what I thought. Now shut up and let me keep speaking. Now then, the only useful thing Jacob's said so far is right." Omni said

"That you lost to a banana?" Alpha asked to which everyone looked at him like he had birds crawling out of his nose. He sounded like a complete goof.

"...No, that we need more bodies. Mainly one more. Samson would be very useful. In fact he could be exactly what we need." Omni said

"Uh but we have Peter, he could just kill them in one shot couldn't he?" Infected asked

"Not if it goes against their will, Will is like determination. Its more internal and also physical. You could simply just brute force your way through anything so long as the will of the one who seeks to cause you harm isn't greater.

Which I doubt any of ours is. Samson however is very quite Willful." Omni said

"I don't know...as much as family reunions are cool I don't think brining back that literal monster would do us much good. Besides I have change, I could just change their will and make it mine." Alpha said

"And what if their will outrank your change? What then? We can't treat this like some 2nd grade test Adam. We \*\*need\*\* a plan and this is it. We use his brute force to force them to think scattered and cause for their wills to become flimsy. With that we can start dropping heads." Omni said, Infected looked to 404 and saw he was deep in thought.

"Whats up? You've been quiet." Infected asked

"Just trying to get my new conduit...er Bio-conduit soul down is all. How do you even use \*\*Truth\*\*?" 404 asked

"Sounds like you though, all that philosophical bullshit is right up your alley." Infected said

"Thanks." 404 said unamused

"Alright then, enough joking around. First move. We bring back Samson. Once we do, we'll train with him. A being of his might finally learning to use his powers could be very beneficial." Omni said

"Your asking us to train a hurricane. Thags easier said than done." Alpha said

"Then we'll just have to work harder. Lets go, the Grand Oak may have some methods on where or how we can get him." Omni said walking forward with 404 and Infected walking in the back.

"Hes more of a protagonist than you now willy." Infected said

"Fine by me, I hate the attention." 404 said as he put his hands in his pockets following Omni with everyone else.

They were getting closer towards the Grand Oak however there was one problem, Infected had started telling stories.

"Im telling you Willy they aren't reinventing the fucking wheel when they say "We're progressive", Now I'll be the first to say I'm the most racist fuck I've fucked bitches better than those twink, skirt wearing fucking freaks. I've fucked them before too. I once nailed a bitch who bought dvds from a out of date comic store and collected pride flags and even I can say for a fact your the most gayest man I've ever met." Infected said, everyone was just about tired of his "stories".

"For the last time, stop calling me Willy. Its William. You know my name, you've said my name multiple times before." 404 said looking at Infected.

"Ye and?" Infected said

"So stop calling goddamn Willy. Do i look like a whale to you? Or a shit eating man who owns a army of smurfs? No? Then for God's sake shut the hell up.

Also are your stories even real?" 404 asked

"They do sound pretty fake." Alpha said

"Stop trying to chime in Adam, you and me may be on decent terms, but that dosent mean your free from me calling you bitchless." Infected said as Alpha turned around mumbling clearly annoyed.

"Beta male." Infected said which got Alpha to turn his head around only for Infected to be picking his nose. Omni and Warlock were walking in the front and completely ignoring the chatter behind them.

"WHY ARE WE WALKING!? We can fly, teleport and move faster than the concept of light itself yet were hiking cross-country like fucking forest Gump. What is this shit!?" Infected shouted

"Its saves magic and energy dumbass ." Alpha said

"What you need to do is save yourself some-"

"We're here." Omni said as everyone stopped and looked to see the large wooden dragon, the mighty Grand Oak...who was sleeping.

"...The world is ending...and he's sleeping." Alpha said

"Not all gods mess around with our problems." Omni said as he then snapped his fingers which had the Grand Oak open one of his eyes.

"Now, look at this. A couple of stray skeletons have wondered towards my domain. Now what is it that thou can do for you younglings?" Grand Oak said

"Young?" 404 said offended

"We need your help with returning a being from our world. Can you do it?" Omni asked

"Warlock Warlock and Amber?." Warlock asked

"No, I'm not asking if he can make you a burger." Omni said

"Dude what?" Alpha said confused

Grand Oak stared at them all and watched them all discuss amongst one another.

"You can't control Samson, he just listens to Mom. No one else!" Alpha shouted

"And what do you suppose we do Adam? Go back home and ask them to \*\*please\*\* give us the conduit of Will back?

The concept of will is much stronger than you think and in the right hands can be a tool of mass destruction and unfathomable potential. To be fair I'd rather us just go and face Faker than roll this incredibly risky dice." 404 said crossing his arms.

"What other choice is there? We aren't anything to Faker now, especially as weak as you two are. We're better off just trying to change the world on a much smaller scale. Like the one we've got going on back home." Omni said

"We must find a solution soon, otherwise we'll all be left strained while our world gets destroyed." Alpha said

"Hes up there, they all are I just know it." Faker said as he and O'Brien along Brimm all stood on top of the Inspiration.

"How long do we have? I can still go up there and kill those ants!" Brimm shouted

"Not yet beast, If we are to succeed we need a plan." Faker said as he walk a few feet away.

"Which is why I've come up-"

"I'm going to stop you there. Dont even start thinking.  Cause I already have." Faker said as he then opened a portal to his version of AlphaTale, Fake!AlphaTale and stuck his hand through and pulled out a large sack tha tooled to be containing weird small orbs.

"What are those?" Brimm asked as Faker picked up a small white orb with a distorted face on it. They were no smaller than a marble.

"Its me." Faker said

"What?" O'Brien said confused as he looked to Brimm. Faker smiled as he then grabbed a hand full out of the lack sack and threw them past O'Brien and Brimm who turned around and watched as they sunk into the Inspiration like seeds. The two watched as the ground around them began to wiggle and pulsate.

"You guys have some fascinating theories, I gotta say though. One of my favorites was the idea of alternate Edens. After my failure previous to my current achievements I began to do some studying.

I wondered the infinite ends of Eden itself in search of perhaps a wall or maybe some form of outer limit.

However I didn't need to. Something reached out to me....\*\*Another me!\*\*. I was shocked at first, but when thats when they shared with my the collective knowledge of ever single variant of myself.

I have to say, its terrifying how little of your world you've discovered. Everything you all have seen is merely a shadow to the real thing. Your minds couldn't even begin to comprehend the scale of what this all is. I've seen them, the other Edens and I have to say..." Faker eye's then looked towards the ground as large hands similar to his burst out of the ground, hundreds of them.

"No way...thats not possible." Brimm said

"Oh no my friend, I think we just figured out our ticket to supreme godhood!" O'Brien said with a smirk as he watched as alternate and different variants of Faker began to pop out of the ground.

"...If you all think I'm evil, then your in for a surprise when you see my other variants." Faker laughed as an entire army of Fakers all began to laugh and chuckle.

"I have them now" Faker smiled

O'Brien and Brimm were in shock at what they were seeing.

"\*\*THEY DON'T STAND A CHANCE AGAINST ME NOW!!\*\*

Look around, Fakers across the miles, all having done what I've done or something similar! Here's one that devoured the One in Red. Here's another who devoured the Eldrich Gods within the Tombs of Eden and heres one that even killed the False-Prophet.

Fakers of all kinds! Its a army of me! An army of Xenos! AN ARMY OF KARVASRSHAL!!!" Faker shouted

"So, Karvarshal, where do We fit in this little plan of yours?" Brimm asked, Faker looked down to O'Brien and nodded.

"You and me will be traveling to the Book of Truth to secure the Being Slayer. Once we have it this war is over. Best hope we have of getting there is by climbing the redwood tree as its tip quite literally sticks out into the Book." O'Brien said as Faker then got two small xeno orbs in his sack.

"Here take and eat these. They should boost you well above the margin so you can get in there. Being conduits like you are you shouldn't have a problem." Faker said as the two at the xeno orbs and immediately felt a large power increase and Brimm getting bigger and growing more limbs.

"What of you?" Brimm asked

"You want to get there right? Well my money says that the Architect, that stupid alien thing and Falklore aren't just going to let you walk right past them.

I'll send in my army and myself to distract them and you go on ahead. Don't worry I'll be right behind you as you go along." Faker said

"These alternate Edens, just how many are there?" Brimm asked

"Too many, and while we are the primary one it doesn't make us close to the strongest." Faker said as then he looked out to the army and sea of Fakers who all were riled up and ready to go.

"Now, Phase 2 of my big plan begins, Time for phase "\*\*FAKE ARMY!!!\*\*" Faker shouted as all the Fakers screamed and shouted with him.

Back in the redwood dimension, CoI and Falklore looked down into the mist.

"That didn't sound good." CoI said

"Warlock, Warlock Warlock Warlock; warlock!" Warlock said to Omni

"...That could work, but what if he's too much for you too? Though there is all of us i guess." Omni said

"What is it? What did Peter say?" Alpha asked

"He said he could help us to restrain Samson, but he isn't sure how mighty he's gotten in his time being dead." Omni said

"You mean that freak grows stronger in death!? How the fuck is that possible?!" Infected asked

"No clue, my idea is its just some more Wendy nonsense. Lets do this." Omni said as he turned to the Grand Oak

"I still think this is a stupid idea, we could easily just use this guy as a key to beat them." 404 said pointing to Warlock who looked at him curiously.

"No, Warlock is also a out of control beast, when he isn't fighting he's fine. However when combat starts he might as well be our enemy. We \*\*need\*\* Samson." Omni said

"Great so we add more madness to our fuck fest, great." 404 said

"Im sure it'll be fine, however I do think we should get one more person before we do anything involving Samson." Alpha said as he went to Omni and whispered something to him.

"What are they on about?" 404 asked

"I don't know." Infected said as he turned to Warlock who was stretching.

"But I probably isn't good, damn wish I brought floaties." Infected thought to himself. Omni then asked The Grand Oak Alpha's request and almost instantly someone fell right on top of 404, everyone looked over and saw Delios.

"DELIOS!?" Infected shouted

"ARGAHA!! Get the fuck off me damnit!" 404 said as Delios was just confused.

"What is this? Where am I?" Delios said as he then looked around at everything and everyone. He recognized 404 as William and Omni as Ares due to the eyes, but couldn't identify everyone else.

"Ok what is this whats going?" Delios asked

"Its going to be a minute, but I'll try to give you the short version." Alpha said as he started explaining to Delios the weight of the situation.

"Ok, I think I get it. So why the hell did you bring me back? Not saying I don't appreciate it, but don't you think there were better options?" Delios said

"Nope, no one else came to mind." Alpha smiled. Delios almost was happy to hear that. He then looked over to Infected.

"Can't believe thats Jacob...after all the rotten shit hes done...well I guess he's here helping Ares now, guess some sense got knocked into him.

Also why is everyone dressed all damn techno like. Feel like I'm at a synthetic party." Delios thought to himself.

"Alright then, lets get the hard part out of the way." Omni said as he turned to the Grand Oak again.

"Alright do us this last favor and we'll be square you and I." Omni said

"Make your damn wish and be done with it. I don't have time for this." The Grand Oak said

"Bring back Samson! First son of the Astral Mother and brother to William and Adam ding gaster." Omni shouted, everyone looked in baited breath as the Grand Oak's eyes went completely red.

"Oh boy...I don't think I'm mentally ready for this shit." Infected said as he immediately turned into his Hell!Seeker form along with Delios getting out his hammers.

404 thought about going Butterfly, but due to the fact he wasn't familiar with his new Nullvoid code and Bio-conduit he decided on just powering up. Omni looked around at everyone and then back to the Grand Oak.

"Let it be done." The Grand Oak said as then Samson would reappear, but in state none were expecting, he was in his slime and defiled state. His goopy look.

Everyone looked completely confused.

Falklore got on some new berserker armor and out on a headband. He then grabbed two swords and put his old shield on his back.

"Well don't you look ready for action.

Speaking of that, I have no doubt that \*\*they\*\* can't wait to get into this whole conflict. \*\*Evil\*\* has never been more powerful, if he keeps going...not even I may be able to stop what happens next."CoI said as he looked up and felt pressure like never before on his mind.

"Im sorry that your return...is not in better conditions." CoI said, however Falklore didn't care. He just wanted to stop the coming threat once and for all. However down below all the Faker clones were getting themselves ready, Faker himself looked out to them all and remembered his race, he remembered Everlast.

"..."

He thought for a moment, he looked over to Brimm and O'Brien scheming their own deeds. Faker then got up and walked off.

"Feeling lost monster?" Said a voice, he looked up to see Prism still chained up with many others.

"Lost, how can I be lost when there's so many of me? When I have all the power and intelligence to RULE THE WORLD!" Faker shouted

"You still don't get it do you, you won't be in power forever. There will always be another to stand against you." Prism said

"They all will fall." Faker said

"You are a fool." Prism said only to then be grabbed by Faker and brought down.

"YOUR THE FOOL! For defying me and attempting to combat me whenever you could. Well now the tables are turned and \*\*you\*\* are the fool now. Begging to have been on my side from the beginning." Faker said as he began to crush Prism who tried to resist with little success.

"Your the fool! You think you can just go around causing chaos?! You don't even realize it yet, but you aren't the scariest thing to ever exist Karvasrshal." Prism shouted only for Faker to laugh and then bring Prism's face close to his.

"OH! But I will be." Faker whispered as he then lifted Prism high in the air.

"Your conduit ability would fit nicely with mine. Being able to disrupt the power focus of others and ultimately nullify them for good would suit my intrest well." Faker said as he then recreated Abaddon at his prime, Prism looked at him and so did he to Prism.

"Now then, Lets get this over with. Any last words?" Faker asked only for Prism to be silent.

"Very well then." Faker smiled as he then ripped away Prism's consciousness and then dropped him leaving him a shell. He then ripped out his Forbbiden Conduit soul and absorbed it. He looked down at Prism's pretty much lifeless body.

"Now thats a shame, I thought you were supposed to be smarter than me." Faker chuckled as then he looked back and saw Abaddon fly off.

"I always repay my debts." Faker said to himself as he pushed around Prism's body chuckeling to himself.

"Uhhh hey Fake guy." Brimm said

"Its Karvasrshal." Faker said annoyed

"Yea uhhh, well we got a problem." Brimm said, a few moments later Faker would punch a large part of the destroyed Eden Tree.

"ARGAHHHH! SON OF A- WHY DIDNT YOU SAY ANYTHING ABOUT A SECRET HIDEOUT!!!" Faksr shouted

"Yes, the royal family of Eden have always had many alternatives in case situations...like you were to happen." O'Brien said

"Well where is it?" Faker asked

"I don't know." O'Brien said

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON'T KNOW!? ARENT YOU A CONDUIT?" Faker shouted

"Listen carefully Kar, I think we can-" however thats when everything would freeze. Faker would notice, hid entire army was frozen the world was frozen even Falklore and CoI and the Book of Truth itself even felt the effect of this.

Faker looked around and was completely dumbfounded at the remarkable feat and scale of this effect.

"Such beautiful wickedness, the lustful hatred and unhinged \*\*evil\*\*" said the voice, it was cold. The voice hit like ice aginst the skin. Faker felt like a baby, a baby that hadn't been exposed to the outside. Once the doors opened the cold breeze hitting the skin and now realizing the coldness of the outside. Faker had goosebumps as he then turned around and found nothing.

"Who is this? Who or what are you?" Faker asked

"I am \*\*Evil\*\*." The voice said.

"Evil?" Faker said looking around.

"Yes, I'm present everywhere. No alternate Eden to run to, not Everlast to hide in and no storyline where I don't exist. I'm \*\*everywhere\*\*. Or better to say, it is. " said Evil

"What do you want?" Faker asked

"You've seen the faces of neutrality, \*\*God\*\* and you've seen some of the faces of Evil. You are a projector of evil." Said Evil

"I asked you a question! What the hell is it you want?" Faker asked

"Too many questions, if you desire to win then I must ask you a favor." Said Evil

"...what?" Faker asked

"The Book of Truth holds something, they hold the ultimate evil! Guarded and held back by the Being Slayer they so foolishly put there.

While Good may not exist, Falklore and many others still remain to bring you down! If you seek victory than do this, remove the being slayer from its  slot and then use it to summon the ultimate counter to all against you." Said Evil.

"Leave me, I'll consider your offer. However why are you speaking to me? Surely there are others who can provide you better cooperation." Faker said

"Many others refuse to work with someone of my...status. I've tried many, from the Devil himself and even The One of Many colors refused me." Evil said

"Wait...The one of Many of Colors refused you? Just what the hell is it your trying to summon?" Faker asked, he immediately was put on alert, not having people not want to work with you is one thing. However having one of the seven especially one considered to be the \*\*devil\*\* not want to have anything to do with you was highly concerning.

"Evil...is Omnipresent, it exist everywhere, everywhen and in every everyhow." Evil said as he now had Faker's complete attention.

"Evil was made alone, there was no opposition to be seen. Death had Life, Immortality had Mortality and Destruction has Balance.

However Evil was born alone, not belonging to any dualism or duality. Evil was alone, worse, it was everywhere. \*\*Unnn\*\* had made the world with no sign if genuine good.

Perhaps God wasn't good, no. Better to say that God didn't love the world.

I've discovered however what this means. Nunn did not make the world, Vermel did." Evil said

"Vermel?" Faker said

Back up in the red dimension Falklore was training and punching at the redwood tree with each fist he threw shaking his body. He needed to win, everything was counting on him to succeed. Thats when he saw a familiar face in the corner of his eyes. It was Death and CoI.

"Howdy Falk." Death said as he walked over and the two shared a handshake.

Falklore and CoI would return with massive back up, having an army of Eden soldiers from the King and Queen of Eden along with Forbbiden Conduits to help as well such Geri, Quella and Corruption.

"So glad you guys could help out with this, I know they wanted you there to guard the place...but if we don't this guy here and now. We're all fried." CoI said as he then oponed up a portal.

"Which is why I'm calling in some back up too." CoI said as he then watched as the Prime Conduit of Creation jumped down from the portal. It was this celestial looking creature who passed eyes that resembled a dwarf star.

"...CoI, I assume this is good." Said Creation

"Yea, I know this isn't normally your field, but we have a bit of trouble-"

"HES COMING!" Death shouted as they all then collectively looked over to see Faker standing far from them ontop of one of the roots of the Great redwood.

"Well look at this, the red carpet all lined out just for me. What a suprise." Faker chuckled

"This is where you die creature." Geri said pointing his large sword at Faker. Faker had no comment.

"Thats the monster? I've faced scarier looking creatures than that." Quella said

"This has to be a new form of \*\*Evil\*\*" Death said as they all watched Faker.

"What do you make of it?" CoI asked

"...Just another monster and \*\*it'll\*\* fall like the rest." Creation said

"SO!" Faker shouted getting everyone's attention.

"You all just going to stand there and keep yapping your gums? Or are we going to get this train going?" Faker said

"What train?" Quella asked

"\*\*The Painful kind\*\*." Faker smiled as he then looked over to Falklore who was staring dead at him. The two shared a hard look to each other as if they were itching to get down to business.

"You still have option to give up creature, hand over the conduits you stole and we'll see to you getting a nice fancy place in the Tombs of Eden." Death said

"THE TOMBS!? ARE YOU INSANE!? HE NEEDS TO DIE DEATH!" Geri shouted

"Silence Forbbiden one, you don't get to decide this creature's fate." Death said. Geri scoffed as he stared at Death with venom.

"Still so divided, even when faced absolute destruction you still bicker amoungest each other.

Such animals, if you were a Xeno you'd get thrown away for having such petty ideals of status and importance.  Now as much as I'd like to actually waste your pathetic lives. I'm going to try to end this as soon possible." Faker smirked

"In case you haven't noticed filth, your outclassed and outnumbered." Geri said with a laugh, thats when Geri would eat his words as millions upon millions of Fakers.

"Oh...now thats a lot of hims." Corruption said a little nervous.

"Holy shit." Death said

"You were saying?" Faker said.

Faker was smiling widely as all his other variants were laughing, smiling and taunting the competition.

CoI then took off his jacket while Falklore looked to Quella who looked over to him. Death and Geri got their blades. Corruption cracked his neck while the soldiers behind them getting their souls ready for the fight and some even praying.

"Hehheh, lets get this shit rolling. KILL THEM!!" Faker shouted as the entire army of Fakers went flying at the army of Eden and Conduits.

CoI immediately wiped out an entire group of Fakers with a single glance as he caused a massive reflux in reality that sucked in hundreds of them. Falklore began to punch and slice away at Fakers with Quelka backing him up and Death and Geri doing the same.

Faker got ready to join in before...

"Karvasrshal..." said a familiar, one that gave Faker absolute chills. So much in fact he turned his head in a cold sweat thinking something was behind him.

"....D-" however before Faker could say anything he would get sucker punched by Falklore. Who would land in front of him.

"ARGH! Rotten little pest!" Faker said as he then charged at Falklore using his shadow Bull technique which allowed him to combine the force and impact of objects behind shadows and he used the shadow of Falklore to hit him with his own force and power and combined it with his own.

Falklore would get sent flying backwards, Falklore would jump onto the main platform where everyone was fighting. He looked around and saw the Eden soldiers killing and being killed by Fakers. Creation would then drop down and fire multiple blast at Faker who would block them.

"Heheh, so your creation. To be fair your existence is entirely new to me." Faker chuckled as he stared at the celestial being. Creation however had no words for him and created a sphere of power equal to Faker's own power and threw it at him. Faker then blocked against it only for it to still be pushing him back.

"UGH! SO, You can create anything!? You made a sphere of my own power, but who's powers did you mimic? Faker? Or \*\*Karvarshal\*\*." Faker asked as Creation looked a little suprised as Faker then threw the orb out of the way and saw it go flying out of this dimension. CoI would then drop down and smash Faker's head into the ground with his fist. Faker would attempt to grab him only for Creation to create changes on Faker's hands and pin him to the ground. CoI would land beside Creation and the two would then fire massive beams if raw power at Faker who would brace him self against them.

"Damn you two are annoying!" Faker shouted. CoI and Creation watched as Faker's body began to grow more and more burnt and torn as they continued to blast at him. Faker looked at his body and saw it began to get destroyed. He wasn't going to last any longer aginst these two unless he evened the playing field. On top of the redwood on one of its branches the brothers were all looking down at the fighting. 404 and Infected looked in horror at everything.

"HOLY SHIT DUDE SHITS GOING DOWN!" Infected shouted

"GUYS GET DOWN! This place just turned into ground zero! We need to go NOW!" Omni shouted in a calm manner get their attention. They all looked one more time before they left the redwood dimension with Warlock to go back to their story, back to the Alphaverse. However back with Falklore he would get up after being knocked out cold. He saw CoI and Creation destroying Faker. He stood up and looked around at all the fighting and then walked over to Faker who was heavily exhausted. Faker looked up at Faker who clenched his fist and got ready to finish him off.

"Tch, Amateurs." Faker chuckled when suddenly a large shadow engulfed the entire battlefield. Everyone looked up to see something small in the sky getting closer and closer to them.

Falklore, CoI and Creation looked up to see it only for their jaws to drop in terror as it was the Fake!Inspiration coming down upon them like a meteor. Faker then took the opportunity to boost his power sky-high and break through Creation's chains and then combine all his power into one punch and knock all three of the them aginst their collective skulls. With Creation taking the brunt of the force and nearly being killed in one shot, Falklore then grabbed Faker's arm and would swing him upwards where Faker would in turn extend his arm grabbing Falklore's face and then throwing him at immeasurable speeds straight at the Inspiration who was still plummeting down towards them. CoI shook his head as he then looked up only to get his head smashed into the ground by Faker, Quella then turned her attention at him and turned one of her arms into a "Anti-Faker" gun and began to shoot it at Faker who immediately caught the pressence of that specific energy and used CoI as a shield. After the barrage was done he would then throw CoI to the side. He looked around to see his army of Fakers were pretty much destroyed with nothing left of them.

"...Damn, guess its time I kick things into overdrive." Faker said as he then began to get ready to power himself up.

"Using potential and charging it with Balance, I should be able to fuse the two into something very nice for myself.

\*\*Unbalanced Potential\*\*

And Mix that too with Life and Immortality.

\*\*Immortal Life!\*\*, Now imagine using all that and then using it all to increase myself beyond even the potential of anything I could possible imagine? Hehehhe, I'm starting to scare myself." Faker thought to himself chuckeling.

"Is this the power of someone with four mastered conduits?" Death said as he turned to Faker and all of what was left of the army of Eden all looked to him ready to attack. Faker looked at them and around.

"Mastered you say? Oh no, I've done something far better than that. I've overcome what it means to simply master something. I've completely overwhelmed these conduits and now, I've done the impossible!

You simpletons, I'm not like the rest of you. I didn't just wake up wanting to do this and wish on luck that I would win.

I picked my battles carefully and thought out the outcomes. I'm much better than you fools." Faker smiled

Creation, CoI and all the conduits in the area looked at Faker and immediately rushed him.

"YOUR FUCKED NOW!" Faker shouted as he immediately then combined all of the conduits within his very being, all of them beyond the point of mastery and beyond their original thought peak and limit. With this not only did he abolish the previous conduits he had, but had done the impossible and created his very own conduit through the fusion of them.

Such a massive power boost was so intense that in the Book of Truth God himself could feel the "ground" shaking though not by a lot. However the most noticeable thing to him was the fact that he could sense something besides everything in the Book of Truth. Which was odd as everything beneath this place was merely fictional to him and them all.

"Do you feel that?" Said the Buddah floating over

"Yea...I do." God said.

End of Chapter 3

### Fate Seeker, Chapter 4 Last Stand

Faker then woke up, he was somewhere else entirely. It was large dessert with dark purple sand. The sky had no clouds and only showed the Cosmos above.

"Everlast?...it yet lives?" Karvasrshal said as he got up and noticed that he was in his most purest and most infant stage. He was merely a larva.

"No my child, tis only a mirage of what once was. Now come, the beach is calling." Said a voice, Karvasrshal then traveled across the purple sands and as he did he would see gravestones all over. Each representing someone he knew and or a Xeno that once lived in Everlast. Eventually he would arrive to the beach. The sea was deep and the water was so clear that you could see the solar flares coming off of far away stars. He then looked across the sea and saw them. One of the Ancients from his race. \*\*Ouaphima\*\*.

"Karvasrshal, You've exceeded your growth stages. You are now a full fledged adult. You connection with the rest of your kin is now plausible." Said Ouaphima

"My kin are dead Oua." Karvasrshal said

"Perhaps, yet your ancestors yet live." Ouaphima said, something Karvasrshal was very uncomfortable hearing.

"Your coup aginst your kin will not go unpunished. Even now your lost Kin hunt you down across the Infinite Edens that exist and yet exist." Ouaphima said

"I KNEW IT! So some did escape, Who are they? Where are they? They won't stop me from remaking Everlast in my image." Karvasrshal asked in haste

"Your hunters are, Darval, Uheval and Vval." Ouaphima said, out of the three only one struck fear into Karvasrshal the most...Darval. Darval also known as hound of the \*\*devil\*\* was terrifying to all who were against him. He didn't care for anything beneath, that includes physical appearances, spacial places, space and time or even the rules of the world and its even more stronger \*\*meta rules\*\*.

You quite literally could never see him coming unless he told you, which he doesn't.  Darval at one point was going to be assigned to be a ancient as he was said to have made a grand discovery. However Karvasrshal's coup would take bigger priority.

Karvasrshal looked down at the sea.

"Oh dearest son of Xeno, if you so desperately seek faith all you must do is pray to Lamia that your are spared." Ouaphima said as they then dropped into the deep sea. Karvasrshal then looked up to see the moon shine a light on him causing him to wake up.

Karvasrshal would then look around and see everyone frozen, it was like they were frozen in time yet weren't.

He then looked at himself and saw that he had evolved from his previous state seeing his new adult body and new adult mindset. He could see beyond his own previous understanding and now was above all Fakers and Karvasrshals that did \*\*not\*\* achieve adulthood. He then looked over to Death and would float over to him. It was clear though that the thoughts of these individuals were still active.

"Showtime for you has been, nice, however I'm sorry Death, but there was never enough room for the both of us." Karvasrshal said in a very static radio like voice as he then shoved his arm right through Death and ripped out his conduit soul killing him instantly.

This action would restart things and everyone would begin to move again, however it was too late and Death would fall to the ground. Karvasrshal now had Death's soul.

"NO!" CoI said as Creation looked in shock as well at what had happened. Karvasrshal then turned around with the conduit of Death in his hand.

"You all have fought a good fight, but this stops being a fight no-" however just as he was about to finish Falklore would come down with a large branch from the redwood in hand and smash right ontop of Karvasrshal knocking the conduit of Death out of his hand. Falklore would jump down and kick it to Creation.

"Get out of here!" Geri shouted as Creation looked to them and retreated away only to get caught by a few hidden Fakers.

"Son of a-" just then blast would get shot out of the branch and straight through Geri's head killing him instantly. Karvasrshal reformed outside the branch.

"That was a minor bump, but I won't be loseing that soul again." Karvasrshal said as he put his hand up and began to bring the soul and Creation over to him. Falklore sprinted towards Karvasrshal and bean to punch at him but none of Falklore's attacks were doing anything to him. Quella even began to fire anti-karvarshal weaponry and missiles, but weren't effective.

"THATS IT! TIME TO DIE!!" CoI said as he then used his collective power and fired single point blast so Powerful that it could destroy destroy the Book of Minds 100x over. Falklore jumped out of the way only for Karvasrshal to use hi power to throw him directly into it sending Falklore flying and killing him in the process. Everyone looked in shocked and CoI gasped Karvasrshal laughed out loud.

"You all have no cordenation do you?" Karvasrshal said as then Creation would create a block as big and as powerful as Karvasrshal was and drop it on him allowing for him to be released. Quella was devasted.

"NO! THEY'RE DOOMED!" Eden screamed, she was pacing back and fourth in the realm beyond the "Outside". All of the Seven were there. With Vor the farthest away and staring at something that had been dropped in their realm by a unknown source to which they assumed was Nunn. It was a large Scale.

"What does it mean?" The one who seeks Darkness asked himself as the One who desires to reset staring at Eden along with Oblivion and Colors.

"So The hero has fallen. How amusing. Without him they will fail." Oblivion said as he looked at his staff

"Good riddance I say! Nothing ever good came from wanting to help these witless worms." Colors said only to get walked off of Oblivion's shoulder by Eden.

"DONT YOU UNDERSTAND! IF THEY LOSE ALL MA BE LOST!!" Eden screamed

"OW! LIKE I GIVE A DAMN ABOUT ANY OF THAT!!!...Hey where is Pain?" Asked Colors

"He wanted to stay with his "family" during all the chaos." Oblivion said

"Family? I never figured he'd be so attached to those things." Eden said, Vor looked back and continued to just ponder about the scale and its purpose.

Back down in the redwood dimension CoI and Karvasrshal would keep duking it out in the back ground with Quella fighting from afar and firing blast after blast. On the other side of the redwood Falklore's corpse laid on the ground lifeless...Eden's hope laid flat.

Infected would wake up on a random couch, he looked around a moment before getting up. He was a bit wobbly, but overall he felt like himself. It was standard home, there were a few portraits. He got up and grabbed a frame on the table. It was a picture of William and Chara.

"What?" He thought to himself

"Oh your up." Said a voice, Infected turned quickly to see Chara in the doorway wearing come casual clothes.

"...Chara..." Infected said as Chara came up to him. He looked at him, unsure how to feel he attempted a handshake only for Chara to punch him in the gut and curl up.

"Ughhh...ow" he said, it didn't hurt much, but it still was a hit nonetheless.

"Thats much less than what you deserve, your lucky i don't gouge your eyes out of your sockets. The others are outside. Get out of my home." He said as he then walked past him and to the kitchen off to the left.

He saw a jar on a table end of the hallway, "the swear jar" it said. He looked at it before he then looked st where Chara came from and saw it lead outside. He got and then heard loud groaning.

"I'm coming, I'm coming." Chara said as he ran over and went to what seemed to be the door to the basement. Infected watched him go down and close the door. He then moved to the backyard, outside everyone was there. 404, Alpha, Omni and Warlock were all there talking with one another. Alpha was the first to notice Infected.

"Your up! Good to see ya." Alpha said, 404 looked at him and then walked past him and inside the house.

"Good to see your up Jacob. Take some time, we haven't thought up of anything yet. William has offered us his home for a time." Omni said as he folded his arms. It took a minute to notice, but everyone was leaning against what looked like outside toys and Alpha was sitting on a trampoline.

"What is this?" Infected asked as he then finally looked up and saw a clear blue sky and more homes and buildings all over. Woods a plenty and some roads and roads of dirt. He could hear cars and other people. A extreme contrast to what and where he was in the Book of Truth.

"This is the Culdesac, it lives on a omega planet in a sub-reality. Not far from our home one, six. Some stuff here was designed by William himself. " Omni said as he looked at his hands.

"Amber." Warlock said

"No, no its not city. Not yet at least." Omni said

"How is this possible? Why is this...here? Chara is alive and I heard groaning down below the house." Infected said

"Oh thats Samson. We...put him down there. His condition is beyond my own capabilities, his determination is reacting off of something and keeping me from changing him to what I believe he should look like. I feel like even after everything we still don't know anything about determination." Alpha said with disappointment.

"Not only that, but it appears that it does have a expiration date. As Samson has begun to grow and not in the good way." Omni said

"Seriously? How is that possible." Infected said

"Warlock Warlock, Amber Warlock...\*\*God\*\*." Warlock said which got Alpha and Infected's attention.

"...Nothing important. Enjoy yourselves for now. I'm going to the store." Omni said as he got up.

"Want anything brothers?" Omni asked

"Oh can I-"

"Not you." Omni said as Alpha put his hand down and looked over. Warlock shook his head as he went over to a swing set and began to swing on it. Infected crouched at the ground, the grass was real, the sky was real...it all was real.

Everything was peaceful. Is this the happy ending William wanted all those years ago? Is this what peace could feel like? Somewhere in Infected's head he could feel it. The return of a dark flame in his mind. It was small yet there.

"...Strawberry Milk." Infected said.

Everyone was doing something, Alpha was sitting outside with Warlock, Omni was out and 404 was inside. Infected was still crouched at the ground looking at the grass. Alpha looked at him and then scratched his head. He then had a great idea.

Infected's mind was racing, yet still. He had no idea of what to make of it all. If he hadn't acted how he did...would this had been his new home? His new reality? No, yet now he was stuck with faces that either were indifferent to him or hated him outright.

Their anger was justified. He was indeed a monster....or maybe he still is. Was he really changing? Or was this just him convincing himself of something he could never achieve.

He-

"Hey" Alpha said gettinghis attention.

"How about instead of moping around you come on inside and we watch some TV. Hows that sound Jacob?" Alpha asked, Adam hadn't changed. At least just a little. So quick to make a friend with monsters...even \*\*real\*\* ones. Yet his smile seemed unwavering even now.

"...Chara hates me. Don't think he wants me inside." Infected said

"Dont worry, I'll talk to him." Alpha said as he walked inside to see Chara cleaning the couch Infected was on. Alpha looked around the place a bit. He saw a picture of what looked to be a little girl. He then looked at Chara.

"Oh hi Adam. I'm getting something ready in a moment if your hungry?" He said

"Uhh yea thanks, well I came in here to actually talk about Jacob." Alpha said, it was like Chara froze for a moment, flashes of horrible moments going through his head.

"Can't believe you idiots let him come back here. After everything that happened, yall got amnesia or something." Chara said as he threw the rag he was using down.

"No one's saying that. I was just hoping you could-"

"Could \*\*what\*\*?!, he's a fucking monster Adam! He killed eveyone we love and millions probably billons more! Nearly raped me in front of...." Chara held his head as he dropped onto the couch. Alpha went over and put a hand on his shoulder.

"..."

"I feel like I'm the only sane one out all of you. How can you just pretend all thst didn't happen? How can you all just forget what he did.

If crimes could be forgotten so easily don't you think we'd all be living in paradise." Chara said

"All im asking is-"

"I'M NOT LETTING THAT FUCKING DEVIL BACK INTO MY LIFE! Never again will I trust him. \*\*Never\*\*." Chara said as he pushed past Alpha and walked away to his room. Alpha sighed as he scratched his head.

Infected who was looking back then turned his head back to the grass as it began to rain.

"If this is the happy part of the story...why am I still me." Infected asked as he continued to stare at the grass.

Chara leaned aginst the door to his room exhausted.

"Anyone can change, if they tr hard enough." Said a voice in front of him. Chara looked to see 404 laying on their bed with his clothes hung up.

"Is that right?" Chara asked smug

"...You tell me." He said

"HOW COULD YOU FORGIVE HIM!? AFTER EVERYTHING!?" Chara shouted

"I never said I did. I just have...a understanding." He said

"Please, your not him." Chara said folding his arms

"And you would know?" 404 asked

"I know you Will, your not Jacob." He said

"Then you don't know me." 404 said

"Tch"

They both we're looking away from each other. 404 noticed a silent alarm on his phone on the counter next to his bed. "School is over" it said. He turned his head to Chara who was still pissed.

"We often think we're better than we think.

I always thought everything I did was better than anything Jacob did back home.

...I use to think I understood the differences between me and him. Thats when I realized, after a long time of thinking and reflection...that i never understood anything." 404 said as he touched the scars on his face. He had planned on getting rid of them, of making himself look much better, removing things of his past. Yet he didn't, he knew their value. What it meant and what they taught him. He then looked out his window and saw how heavy it was raining.

"Its really coming down." He thought to himself inside the warm home he had made.

Infected was outside, Warlock having gone inside too. The rain falling on him like knives to a board. It fell and bounced off of him. He could see his own breathe it was so cold, yet he didn't think of it. He then closed his eyes and where once stood nightmares and reminders of his past now was something much more terrifying, the unknown future.

Thats when the rain would stop hitting him, he opened his eyes and looked around. It was still raining though. He then looked up and saw an umbrella. It was being held by a small hand.

He looked forward and saw a little girl who had entered the yard through the backgate of the house. He stared at her and she did him. He had pure white hair and yet a dash of purple in it. Her eyes the same. She had a backpack on and looked no younger than 5 years old.

"You'll be warm now." Said the little girl with a wide smile.

Infected and the little girl looked at one another.

"I'm Penny, whats your name?" Penny asked

"...In-...Jacob." Infected said turning his head.

"What are you doing out in the rain? Do you like it?" She asked

"...I guess." Infected mumbled

"Would you like a rainy sticky?" She asked, Infected looked at her.

"A what?" Infected asked confused

"Here hold this." Penny said giving Infected her umbrella as she then started to dig around in her backpack. Infected looked at her with his head tilted when she then got out a sticker of a rain cloud with a smile on it.

"Here." She said as she grabbed Infected's other hand and she put the sticker on it.

"Now we can like the rain together!" She smiled, Infected looked at and had no response. His emotions went to a place they hadn't been to in a long time.

"You know something really cool! I like to dance in the rain." Penny said

"Well you can yea." Infected said as he was still looking at the sticker.

"Want to see me dance?" She asked excited, Infected looked at her. He wasn't sure what to say.

"Uhh...sure." he said as Penny then put the umbrella down, she was right. She just moved through the rain like it wasn't there. Penny then began to "dance" in the rain splashing around while Infected watched her. He then got flashes back to when he use to do the same in front of his mother.

Though his expression was rather stale and showed little emotion. He watched her jump around and twirl, she stumbled obviously, but he was enjoying the show nonetheless.

"Aren't you going to dance?" She said as she stopped.

"...I don't dance." Infected said

"Dancing isn't fun if you don't have friends dancing with you." She giggled, Infected didn't respond though.

"We're friends?" Infected said

"Of course we are! We're rain buddies!" She shouted as she ran over and started to tug on his arm. Infected refused to move though. She kept tugging until she slipped and fell over.

"Ow!" She said as she rubbed the back of her head. Infected looked at her and thought a little of his younger self. Penny got up and then sneezed.

"Bless you." He said

"Thank chu." She said as she then picked up her umbrella. She then went over to the back door of the house.

"Oh! Are you a friend of my daddy's? If so are you going to stay and eat dinner!? I'm having dino nuggets." Penny said as she ran back over.

"...I'm not really hungry." Infected said

"But you look \*\*bone\*\* dry. You could use some nuggies!" She said snickering

"Well I gotta get inside, see you Mr.Jacob!" Penny said as she waved away and ran indoors. Infected got ready to keep looking at the grass when he noticed his rain sticker. He then put his hands in his pockets. He then heard the door open again. Penny ran back to him in his indoor clothes with the umbrella. She then opened it again and handed it to him.

"You can have this. Bye again!" She said as she ran inside...again.

Infected looked back at her and then stood up tall as he looked at his sticker holding the umbrella. He then felt like he was being watched and looked over to the back fence and saw Omni leaning aginst it looking at him.

"...You weren't watching were you?" Infected asked

"I was." Omni said as he gave a side smile and then threw Infected his strawberry milk. He walked over and patted him on the shoulder and then walked inside.

Infected walked over and sat on the swing set. He sat down and looked at his sticker and drank his milk while doing so.

Now safe from the rain.

Back inside the home Penny shook her head off and looked over to see Omni, Delios and Alpha all watching TV. They were watching a superhero movie. The hero had just lifted up a car to save a woman.

"I could do that." Alpha said as he ate some chips

"No shit, we all can." Delios said as Omni then elbowed him in the gut.

"AH! Hey what was-" thats when Delios noticed Penny.

"Oh uhhh. Hey there." Delios said awkwardly

"OOOOOOOoooooooo you owe money in the swear jar." Penny said pointing at him, Alpha and Omni looked at him and with a groan he got up and went to the swear jar which was half full.

"You'll be broke before the week is up." Omni said

"Shu-...whatever." Delios said.

"PENNY!" shouted Chara in joy as he ran over and hugged Penny who hugged her dad back. It was a warm embrace. Something that reminded Chara of Frisk so much.

"Oh my goodness how i love seeing you." Chara said as Penny pet and rubbed his dad's back.

"Its ok, I'm here now." Penny smiled as she clung to her dad. 404 then walked out of the room scratching his head, clearly tired fter taking a nap.

Penny looked in joy as she then went to the couch climbing over Omni and Delios who didn't mind.

"Hey, what did I say about climbing on the couch?" Chara asked with a stern tone, Penny who just realized what she'd done winced.

"Sorry, and you said not to do it. Cause I can get hurt." Penny said messing with her fingers. 404 looked at Chara and then to Penny.

"Daddy! Catch me!" Penny said as she jumped off the couch only for 404 to use his blue mastery and catch her. Chara twitched at the action, but hid it.

404 put Penny down gently. She then ran over to 404 who got on his knees as he embraced her. Alpha and the others looked over and then to each other before looking back at the TV.

"How was school space ranger?" 404 asked

"It was fun! Mrs.Swann taught me how to do some math and we had oranges and pretzels for snack time!" Penny said smiling

"Just that? What else did you do?" 404 asked

"I'm gonna go finish up dinner." Chara said as he walked out of the living room.

"Well I met a really nice guy who was just sitting in the rain outside. He's my rain buddy now!" Penny said to which everyone collectively stopped what they we're doing besides Omni who didn't care.

Chara ran over nearly knocking 404 over. He then started inspecting and looking at Penny.

"Are you ok?! Are you hurt!? Did he hurt you!?" Chara said nearly on the urge of a full meltdown.

"Chara she's fine look at her. I'm sure she meant someone else." 404 said

"WHO ELSE IS OUTSIDE IN OUR BACKYARD WILLIAM!" Chara shouted. The intensity of the room rose up.

"You said you weren't going to yell anymore." Penny said as she looked at Chara, who had realized Penny was still there.

"I-I...I'm sorry. I didn't mean to." Chara said as 404 looked at him. He then got up and looked outside to see it was still pouring.

"..."

404 and Chara looked at each other.

Penny could feel the atmosphere.

"Look what I drew!" Penny shouted as she got a napkin she drew on from her pocket. 404 and Chara and everyone mellowed out once again as they looked at it. It was a drawing of her riding on Nyan!Cat. 404 looked at it confused while Chara was looking at like it was the best piece of art he had ever seen.

"It looks so amazing! This fabulous!" Chara said as he grabbed it.

"Lets go hang it up on the fridge!" Chara said as he walked into the kitchen. Penny watched as his dad left and looked back her daddy. 404 looked at Penny the two sharing eye contact.

Soon enough it was dinner time, everyone was eating at different spots in the house. 404, Chara and Penny were all eating at the table while the rest were eating at the couch. 404 and Chara were chatting about plans for the rest of the week. Penny looked at both of them and then hopped out of her seat as they were distracted and went to the kitchen and grabbed a bowl of marshmallows and put some wafer cookies in it.

"He likes milk by the way." Omni said, Penny peaked from the kitchen to see Omni looking back at her with a side eye.

"Ares who are you talking to?" Chara asked

"Just talking about how Adam could use some milk that way he dosent flop dead." Omni said

"Dude, can you like not bully for me for 5 seconds." Alpha said

"No." Omni said eating his food.

Penny then poured some milk in a glass. She had her own stepping stool in the kitchen giving her a chance to grab stuff from tall places. She then looked at the table and saw Chara still talking to 404 while he was on the phone. However when he looked at 404, he was staring right at him. Penny and 404 shared another look before 404 then looked back at Chara and the two kept talking.

Penny then ran outside to Infected who was sitting at the swings still.

"Mr.Jacob!" Penny shouted as Infected looked over and saw Penny run over with some food.

"Oh hey." Infected said as he looked over.

"Shhhh, Whisper." She said

"Ok." He said whispering

"My parent's don't like it when I grab snacks after din din, but I thought you might like." She said giving him his bowl. Infected grabbed it and looked at her.

"...Why?" Infected asked

"Cause I'm hungry, which means your hungry." Penny said

"That makes no sense." Infected said

"Bye Mr.Jacob!" Penny said running back inside.

It eventually got around to nightfall, everyone was sleeping. Except for Omni who was just sitting on the floor thinking while Delios and Alpha snoored away.

Chara was looking outside while 404 read a book called "Chicken soup for the soul".

"You gonna stay up all night and watch him?" 404 asked

"No, I'm just...I can't believe he talked to Penny. Our little girl." Chara said as she watched Infected laying against the slide on one of Penny's outside toy's. The rain had stopped.

"If it makes you feel better I can stay up." 404 said

"No you'll just fall asleep." Chara said, he then turned to Chara who looked at him.

"I haven't gotten a goodnight sleep since I was six years old. I think I can handle this. Sleep." 404 said with a stern voice, Chara then scoffed a bit before going to bed and turning off the lights. 404 then sat at the bed thinking. His mind calm yet also alert as he had a flash in his head of when Jacob killed Adam.

He then shook it away. He wanted more than anything to trust Jacob, but...he knew better. At best he could do is stay alert. He looked outside a few times before just deciding to lay down in his bed.

He then tried to shut his eyes. As he did he would fall asleep.

Or at least he thought he would.

In a darkness in his mind he saw himself in a dark void.

"Oh god." He said, as he then turned around to see Adam once again standing in front of him. He was between him and Jacob.

"ADAM!" William shouted only to see it was now Penny in front of him and Infected was infront of her. His eyes grew in shock and fear. Infected smiled as he then grabbed her head.

"STOP!" 404 said as he took a step to hear a crunch. He looked down to see Chara's defiled and rotten corpse along with everyone else's. He then heard screaming as he looked up to see Infected completely bite off Penny's head. 404's heart shattered.

"Did you honesty think it would be that easy? That i would forget so quickly what you did?

That you wronged me? Thank you for setting the cards back up William. So I can knock you down AGAIN!" Infected laughed as he turned into his Hell!Seeker form and burned them all. 404 held his head and crouched to the ground.

"This is bad dream, just a damn nightmare! I won't go back to this...I WONT! I'VE MOVED ON!!!" 404 screamed

"Hehehe, Since when was this about you? No, This is about \*\*if\*\* I have! Can you really put your faith in such unpredictable force." Infected laughed.

"William!" Shouted a voice

"WILLIAM WAKE UP!" shouted the voice again. 404 then opened his eyes, Chara was shaking him. 404 looked around as he saw two large blaster in the room he had summoned without even knowing it. He immediately sent them away as he was in a cold sweat.

"A nightmare?" Chara asked

"Just...Its just something." 404 said as he got up and put on his shirt and pants, he reached for his jacket, but hesitated. A pure symbol of his old life and his time as someone who ruined the lives of others to satisfy his own moral. He then reached for a random coat in his closet.

"Where are you going?" Chara asked

"Just gonna talk to Jacob for a sec. Get some sleep babe." 404 said as he left the room. Closing the door behind him. He went out to the backyard and walked to Infected.

"Hey, you up?" 404 asked

"What do you think?" Infected said as he got up and stood.

"Walk with me?" 404 asked, Infected looked at him and then followed him. They walked around the neighborhood.

"You finally decide to kick me out?" Infected asked

"I don't know if there's more \*\*out\*\* I could kick you to, but no. No I'm not." 404 said

"..."

"...Ok, Look I'll be straight i don't 100% trust you. I want to believe a lot in you I do. I really do. However asking me to forget everything that happened is...hard." 404 said

"..."

"I'm trying though, I just have such a terrible feeling. So....its- its just I have everything again...and yet your here." 404 said as he looked at Infected who was looking down at his hand and then looked to him.

"I need your word you won't do anything or revert back to your old ways. Promise me." 404 said, Infected looked at him. A reflection of their old promise. Where William once promised him happiness now it was him asking Jacob for the same thing. Infected's head had no idea where he was going, it just knew to move and move around them. Move around his family.

"...Ok. I promise." Infected said as he and 404 shook hands.

"Ok...well I gotta sleep." 404 said as he walked back home. Infected stayed behind as he continued to think.

"So you have his trust now, thats good." Said a voice in Infected's head.

"No." Infected said in despair as he returned to his inner mind and saw Hell!Seeker there.

"You!? But I don't feel anything negative towards William anymore." Infected said, this small burning flame glowing bright,  bright as the sun. However a small flame could still start a massive fire if left unchecked.

"Oh please, did you honestly think it would be that easy? Just forget the past like it never happened!? YOU CAN'T EXTINGUISHE THIS HATE! No matter what you do to get rid of me!

I'm much deeper than that and you know it." Hell!Seeker shouted

"Why are you so small?" Infected asked, yet Hell!Seeker didn't speak.

"I know what your doing, your grasping at straws. Your trying to rile me up, trying to start a fire. It won't work!

I'm done, YOU HEAR ME!? IM DONE!" Infected screamed

Hell!Seeker just watched

"Your looking for hatred where there is none...lots of regret and anguish maybe, but no hate. No more. I finally realize all I needed was to find myself again. I just...didn't have any help this time around. Thats why it took so long." Infected said

"Shut up" Hell!Seeker said

"You hate that you can't feed on me anymore, thats what it is. Well this is my mind! AND IM GETTING TIRED OF YOU LIVING RENT FREE IN HERE!!" Infected shouted

"How can you say all that, when you know they'll never truly accept you. Always sleeping with one eye open. Always ready to betray you.

Maybe this time, they won't give you a warning." Hell!Seeker said

"...maybe, but I'm willing to take that risk." Infected said

"YOUR WILLING TO BE BETRAYED AGAIN!? ALL ON THE BET THEY'LL LOVE YOU AGAIN!?" Hell!Seeker shouted

"...yes, cause what greater risk is there, than to love and be loved again." Infected said as then the flame of Hell!Seeker grew even smaller, it was no bigger than Infected's foot now.

That would be when Infected would wake up and saw that he had walked far from 404's home. He was at park sitting in the sand pit. He looked down and saw he had drawn him and William when they were young.

A sign there might be a chance.

O'Brien and Brimm would make their way up the Redwood dimension and straight into the Book of Truth.

"My God, it is true." Brimm said as he looked, but he could not look around as such a thing did not exist.

"The being slayer...its here. O'Brien, I think-"

"We won't be using it." O'Brien said as he then looked up and began to follow the chandeliers that seemed to line the book of truth.

"What?! You said-"

"I know what I said, Bastian, there is no greater sin than using the power of God himself for misdeeds. Not to mention, we'd probably be dammed for all eternity." O'Brien said

"So what are we doing?" Brimm asked

"We're here to find something that most thought not to exist, a thing so pure and so true that it may be our gateway to the Promiseland.

We're looking for \*\*Truth\*\*." O'Brien said as he kept walking with Brimm following.

Eventually Brimm and O'Brien would come upon the forest of statues. Brimm would look around and see a statue of the Conduit of Envy holding a young Bastian in her arms as the baby was normal, but had a dragon's head.

"..." Brimm kept moving, O'Brien looked at thestatues, many showcased the Conduits, including even him. A lot of him holding a defeated death. Black dark horns on O'Brien's head.

"Oh the cycle grows close to its end brother, I can feel it. Perhaps we should just let that \*\*freak\*\* have his way with the world. Anything is better than being out of reach of safety like this." Brimm said as he then saw larger statue, one depicting  thr Prime Conduit of Evil holding Vermel who was stabbed with many spears.

"Don't worry, we're far from any interference. Besides its not li-" however O'Brien's attention would be diverted as he saw the Primordial Chaos god laying down on ecstasy, like as if he had been through the greatest pleasure of all time. Brimm ran over to him and O'Brien. O'Brien looked at Brimm and then to the strange God. However even in their confusion the Primordial Chaos didn't speak. That was when they would see a man further from them. Brimm immediately took notice of the figure and saw how he had long black hair, wore a red gown and a even deeper read mask.

"Who or what is that? I can't sense him." Brimm asked

"Neither can I." O'Brien said as he began to walk towards him.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you." Said a voice nearest to O'Brien, he looked around until he saw it. A multi colored spider on his shoulder. He looked to Brimm who was still gawking at the large Primordial Chaos god who was still bewitched.

"Are you..." O'Brien was a bit worried to finish his sentence.

"Rather  I'm who your thinking or not, \*\*don't\*\* go talking to that...\*thing\*.  I've enjoyed watching your little story and seeing you fools blindly run face first into your inevitable downfall, however I even have a limit to how bad some horrific things are that I witness.

I honestly believe if my father was afraid of anything, it'd be that one." Said the spider as it then turned to silk and fell apart. O'Brien wiped off his shoulder before approaching, it was very still. As he walked from behind it he could see its face completely, a large red mask covering it with one big eye hole and a black lips underneath. He then saw it's red eye. Looking directly at him.

It's skin was pale.

"Hello O'Brien." The man said with a very calm voice

"Hi. You were waiting for me?" He asked

"I'm very patient." He said, O'Brien looked to the downed god and then back to the man who hadn't averted his gaze for a moment nor did O'Brien think he blinked.

"Did you do that to him?" O'Brien asked

"I did nothing to him. He merely gazed unto me." The man said

"Who or what are you?" O'Brien asked

"I am, that I am." The man said as he began to walk past him. O'Brien

"And who are you then?" O'Brien asked again

"It is said Nunn was wounded after his battle with Vermel over the Great willow, that he for the first time felt what it was like to bleed like man.

In these moments his blood ran, he grew hatred towards Vermel. A anger, his thoughts of what he'd do to his more violent self were. Nunn ins his clumsiness had involuntary let himself give way to the birth of \*\*Evil\*\*. In that moment Evil cradled him, and whispered into his ears the sickest and most venous of things. He spoke to him for long, until Nunn himself found  Evil to merely be a reflection of himself." He said as he stopped and turned to O'Brien who was pale and in a cold sweat. He knew exactly who this was now.

"...You...are...Evil?" O'Brien asked

"Yes and no." Said the father of evil, primeval sin itself and the ultimate slurr to existence itself.

\*\*Evil\*\* now walked amoungest man.

"Your the prime conduit of Evil!" O'Brien said

"O'BRIEN! GET OUT OF THERE! HE'LL CORRUPT YOUR MIND!" Brimm shouted as he wanted to step in, but he was fearful of the effect that Evil would have on him. In the older days of his Conduit life, Bastian was always told bed time stories that "If he were to deter from his ways, to become a bad conduit and do wicked deeds. Evil would have his heart."

He always kept caution on the destruction he did, especially when the rediscovery of Evil came via his visit to the main chapel and church of Nunn..

The theory of Evil being even older than the Seven themselves just scared him more.

"What mind would I corrupt?

Your soul and memories are already tainted with tainted with that delicious liquor of venom.

That fruit of blasphemy and the sex of self-righteousness." Evil said in a calm tone

"Speak some sense! I know what you are! You can't deceive me." O'Brien shouted

"...This grand scheme, big idea and greater view. Were all by my hand, wel \*\*our\*\* hand." He said

"Our?" O'Brien said confused

"Vermel, may indeed be wicked, cruel and dangerous. However he is not me. Not in this sense. You see, what I love about us is that we are all vile deep down inside.

Since we were children we stepped on the poor lives of microorganisms, ants and bugs plenty. Soon though we would learn to clench our fist and then throw them at others for our own reasons.

Then, we would be given the gun. BANG, The end. Another life ended.

Yet we point them at others for subjective reasons, objectivity behind violence will always be flawed and will always be seen as nothing more than an excuse.

You scratch your head asking for "God to watch over me", yet you've been shown time and time again. God does not love you, God knows only evil. Evil is all that exist." Said Evil in a calm tone. O'Brien watched as Evil walked around slowly.

"I know what you are, I've heard enough stories through my life to know a anarchist when I see one." O'Brien said

"Anarchist? Hehehhe, why good sir, I'm \*\*Evil\*\*. I don't care for pitiful property damage, I'm in love with the wickedness of your mind and the hate in your heart. Your sins are what I love." Evil said

O'Brien stared at Evil and then looked at himself for a moment.

"Ah yes, Doubt." Evil said which caught O'Brien's attention.

"Doubt is such a wicked thing. It leads to desperate actions, it can lead to unwanted consequences and even unwarranted \*\*death\*\*." Evil chuckled calmly as he seemed to hover across the ground and move over towards the Primordial Chaos in which Brimm then jumped up in fear and ran back a couple feet. His speculation of Evil still unwavering.

Evil placed his hand on the head of the Primordial Chaos and with that the large God would breathe heavily in more joy and it's body began to have a much more glorious and pure state of mind for he was in the presence of a perfect being.

"What are you doing here? Why are you?" O'Brien asked

"Ask me why I wouldn't.

Evil is omnipresent throughout all, even Nunn is evil. You all were made in the image of Nunn and yet upon your wake, the first concept you brewed was death. You brought about boiling blood and not a shed of love and warmth.

You saw opportunity,  a place with no rules and a place with law and took it into your hands to make it yours. We watched you, Vermel, Nunn and I all stared in no suprise to your actions.

"Tis how it will always be." Nunn told me

"Their blood will continue to stain the stones of progress, on their way to the grave." Vermel said

...and then I spoke, "They will never learn, they will never be more than what this is. They will fight this nature order, yet it will be as it must be.

Evil.

Vile.

Cruel.

And malicious, will always be their souls.

No good in their minds and no righteousness in their souls.

Only Evil and the lesser evil shall exist in this world of endless pain and possibilities." Evil said as

"...Evil may be a prominent trait, yet I can't believe this. Your saying that everything is evil. Evil can not exist without duality, you must have another."  O'Brien asked

"Would you like me to show you?" Evil said as it extended his hand to the curious conduit.

"Dont do it O'Brien!" Brimm shouted

"You are welcome too." Evil said, Brimm and O'Brien looked at one another and with that the two got close to Evil and would be taken away from the Book of Truth and to an unknown land. Twas the grand view itself. The encompass of sin itself and evil brought into realitly.

It was...

\*\*The Book of Atrocities.\*\* upon first inspection O'Brien had felt he had made a new discover as there truly were more than 4 books, however he would silenced as Evil would tell him that this isn't a book and just like a title, is a label for it and not what it truly is.

The Book of Atrocities is the home of evil and is also the home of what Evil would call, \*\*the several wicked pits\*\*.

The land was this massive expansion of long filed of grass and golden trees, yet when it came to being near the pits these things would completely burn and kill all life around them as the evil within them was so potent and so pure and raw that it was uncontrollable, only ever ceased by Evil itself.

O'Brien looked around at the Golden trees and long expansive fields of grass. He then saw Brimm was back to his natural self, Bastian the conduit of power.

"Bastian! You are human once again!" He shouted

"Wh- How is that possible?" Bastian said as he felt his old self, his beard, his muscles and hair. He then looked over to see Evil facing a statue right outside the woods.

"No doubt a trick this...\*\*thing\*\*. Why did you agree O'Brien? He is attempting to lead us astray!" Bastian said, that is when they would hear harps being played. They then looked up into the sky to see angels, however they had large disks above their heads like halos. Dark clothes covering their lower halves and rosey perfect skin. They all were beautiful and absolutely mesmerizing. A lesser man or god would easily find themselves infatuated with them and seek desires unholy.

"I want to touch them." Bastian said as he reached up, Evil's eye looked st him. However O'Brien was wise and pulled Bastian's arm down.

"Do not faulter brother! This creature is testing us. We'll endure this. Get answers and then be on our way back towards seeking truth." O'Brien said, his eyes then averted up once again, the angels were sitting on these clouds, laying or even mingling on them. They played all manner of instrument, the harp, violen and even the lyre.

"Come, the first pit awaits." Evil said, the two followed behind him.

"What is this place?" Bastian asked

"This is place is the realm of Evil, wicked and misdeeds of all sorts. Whatever you can think, its here and been done. No sin is too little and no sin is too great. This is where they all are.

Collected under a single banner, the banner of evil." Evil said

"From what we were told Vermel was the source of all evil and he was the grandfather to all of this." Bastian said

"Vermel, Vermel is simply a doer. He is not it, but is the action, the intent, the drive...the \*\*spear\*\* at which evil is brought down with.

I however am it, I am evil. I am the thing of which he dips his spear into to stab into the hearts of the infants who desire and beg for more. I am the poison at which he uses to sicken the heart and minds of men.

I am the blade at which he slices open the purest of hearts to look into their contents and find nothing, but venom.

I am the bullet, the gun to which he uses to pierce your pure hearts and tears your flesh open to find your wickedness, your malice and hate beating like thunder.

Vermel is the one who showcases what evil can really do! While I am the one who gives thee the ideas.

Vermel is evil, but I \*\*am\*\* evil." Evil said as soon they would come upon the first pit. Of the several pits of evil.

Just outside thi large pit would be a statue of Vermel holding and stabbing a man in the heart with the being slayer. The man being struck down by God was holding a gun in his left hand.

"There is only evil and the lesser evil" was engraved into the stone.

End chapter 4

### Fate Seeker, Chapter 5, Where have all the good men gone?

O'Brien looked upon the statue.

"Come." Evil said as he gestured for him to follow. Soon they all were walking down the pit through this spiral path way. The pit was very large and wide. Unfathomabley so.

Each of these pits were split into 3 levels, in the first pit they looked through, The pit of the forgotten. On the first level were those that committed acts such as murder and doing any form of harm to others.

Here in this level, known as penitence these lost souls were being used to fuel the flames of ambitious hate towards others. Using their violence to sprinkle into the world more violence.

O'Brien and Bastian watched as they saw angels with long leashes and long sharp sharp rods poking at fighters in this ring, they were pulling and yanking on them as they fought. Each of the suffering souls all fighting and beating up one another. They had done it for so long and so much that their faces and bodies were unrecognizable. Dried blood of all kinds were everywhere.

Bastian stared at it all in horror while O'Brien was just mesmerized by what he was seeing. As they went down to the lower level they managed to find a stray soul fighting like the rest. It was the Bastard of Loran. Ye the looked nothing like he used to. His strength weathered and gone. He was much weaker and less bulky than he used to be in life. Yet his fist were the bloodiest of the lot.

Seemed like he had been fighting the most, amoungest the souls were also that of Geri who had been shaven of hair and was leashed tighter than others. If the souls here stopped fighting they would have the angels poke and stab them until they started again.

If they still refused then they would see themselves torn apart by large vultures that surrounded the ring and hung on its edges.

"Such savagery." Bastian said

"Let us continue."  Evil said as it showed them the next level which was toxcity, a place for the manipulative and cruel hearted. Here they saw as the souls all were forced and strung togther by the ear. Evil looked as the angels would pull them end from end until they would break apart, cracking them legs until their most dirtiest secrets would come out and then leave them there. Still alive, yet just like their once known pride now shattered and scattered across the floor.

Some here were recognizable, such as Merlin, the Conduit of the Cosmos and even bishops and priests.

"My god." O'Brien said as they continued further down to look at the last level. That however is when they began to hear the distant playing of a violin. It was too far to make out what the song was, as the sorrows and screaming of everyone in the pit drowned it out.

The final level was that of isolation and disassociation. Here there was a dark and murky lake where angels carried with them buckets of boiling water, O'Brien and Bastian looked over and could see bubbles coming from the water. Thats when the faces of the souls would come up to breath.

However just when they did the angels would pour the boiling water on their faces, some faces were burnt so bad there was nothing left, but a nub where you assumed their face use to be.

One angel was sitting on a boat playing a trumpet and playing a almost unfamiliar nostalgic song while also playing something entirely unknown.

Out of the faces the two saw, Prism and William Peterson senior. The rest in the water were unrecognizable.

"their evil now fuels the world, just like the ones before them and just how the ones after will do.

They now feel what their evil has done and will do. They drown under their venom. They beat each other till they can't feel. They ache under the pain and thorn of evil as they can feel its venomus and malicious tongue lick at their lips and whisper the sweet music of Injustice right into their own ears.

This home of forgetting is home to those who try to shield themselves from their own evil, they fight, lie, gossip and hide from their own misdeeds in order to forget their wickedness. Howevee evil is not so easily forgotten nor can be ignored.

No one is above consequences, none are above evil. They taste, eat, nibble and will bite down into the flesh of evil and find it to be their own.

They hear the music, but know not its meaning." Evil said.

O'Brien and Bastian looked to one another and soon they all would leave the first pit.

As they exited Bastian then caught notice of something.

"Look over there!" He shouted as O'Brien looked and saw the 1st Eldest Son of Pain kneeling to the statue of Vermel they had passed before entering the pit. It seemed she was whispering a prayer to it.

"She's here?" He said

"She knows the truth, that evil is all there is and all there will be. There is no pit for those who are aware of this truth. Only purgatory under the flame of her ambitious and dirty ways.

However soon her sins too will be counted and soon she too will be flung into a pit like all the others. Evil has no favorites." Evil said as then they heard loud laughter and yelling from the clouds where all the angels were, they then saw the clouds part as it was none other than Falklore who was falling from the sky and landed on the ground completely unconscious. He then shook his head and watched as his Armour rusted and fell off his body. His tattered clothes being what was left underneath.

"The hero of eden. A man who fights for the name of the people, the same people who known that they're sending a man to kill.

Sending a man to hunt down those who are as they are." Evil said, Falklore looked towards him. That's when angels would descend from the sky swinging hooks around. Falklore turned and looked at them.

"Your death as been one long overdue, you. You spreader of lies, false hope and comfort. A walking lie of heroism. Of hope. You can't promise nothing to these people, all you spread is lies of safety. For where will your world of golden rays and clean streets be when you are gone.

Such horrid lie you live. You Ben, are nothing more than a sham. If you desired the love and warmth of the people. You would have let EchoStar kill." Evil said, Falklore's head turned around.

"You will suffer emensley for the lie you brought to all." Evil said

"Falklore...is evil? Tell me something Evil, is this all objective? Or are you just putting your cruel delusional thoughts and beliefs onto others?

Are you objective in any of this?" O'Brien asked

"Are apples red? Is the sky blue? The tree of Eden tall?

These things require delicate hands, hands that must know the feel and understanding of what all evil is and does.

I more than know this. You walk everyday with the idea your actions bring upon you good nature. That what you do is help others and their likes, but instead all you are doing is nothing, but solidifying your own vigor and status. You do not help. You are giving falsehood to others.

That many can be and make the changes you did. You are a false prophet, a unwanted Sheppard leading sheep to the cliffside. You have no shame. You have no say, you are not good.

You do not have the right to question our objectivity when it is your subjectivity that gives way to cruel deeds such as murders getting set free due to a miscalculation in the law or a rapist not being found due to complications with the DNA of the victim or suspect.

Killers are allowed to wonder due to the fact there are many more, gods are allowed soalce and praised due to their acts of godhood, but they did not earn it. You pray to nothing, nothing but yourselves. To your own supposed good natures.

Look at the children." Evil said as then skeletons of infants and children rose from the ground around O'Brien and Bastian. The children were groaning and crying until they too turned back to ashes and bone shards.

"The hell..." Bastian said deeply concerned

"They groan and plead for the truth you will not give. Cause you yourself cannot handle it, so you let them go. Let them out into the world unsure and full of false hope. Hope that "heroes", the government and your supposed gods will help and pity them.

They will not, for these gods see themselves above evil, Edra, goddess of the Cosmos, The one in Red, Prism and many more. They see their actions as truly neutral or that they are above the rules.

However they are wrong, there is a pit waiting here for them all and they've kept the devil waiting long enough." Evil said as he turned over to Falklore, one angel would throw down a spear at Falklore who was unaware of what had happened to him and attempted to dodge it, however the spear would stab into his leg nailing him in place. He'd scream out as he nearly fell over. He breathed heavily.

"No more god powers here, eveyone, all evil. Its equal here." Evil said as he walked over and past Falklore who looked at him in anger and rage. He knew this couldn't the end, he'd find a way out of this. Somehow.

Evil picked up the hero's helmet.

"A mask similar to my own, used to hide behind something. What is that something...Ben?" Evil said as he looked over to Falklore who attempted to try and punch Evil only for another spear to go piercing right into his chest. Falklore grunted as he grabbed it. Too weak to remove it.

"The story is coming to a close, time for you to bath in the sins you committed." Evil said as he looked at the helmet of Falklore. Falklore's eyes burned in rage at Evil who's eyes were calm and stared at him and back to his helmet.

"It seems even unwavering and unjust good can't stop the absolute and objective evil that all posses.

In the end, you couldn't save anyone.

Your life, lived as a lie." Evil said as the music the angels played got louder and stung more and more to the ears. their harps playing harmoniously while their lyrs played a thundering tune that felt nostalgic and yet unfamiliar to all.

All while some angels laughed and chuckled, giggled even at the fate that Falklore now was faced with.

"NO!" shouted Falklore as he looked over to Evil who's eyes were still on him. His calm eyes staring at Falklore's rage filled ones.

"You reject reality? You reject your own way of life.

None can resist evil, it is all you know. What escape is there from such a fundamental part of your world. To your various selves there is no good. No outcome where you possibly can turn out for the better. You always are and always will be evil.

Striving to be more, is to be more evil. Its to be more vile, to do more malice and to do more Injustice. All equating to more evil for you to spread. There is nothing you can do." Evil said as he turned over the helmet and looked up to see another angel throw another spear into Falklore's other leg, the chains attached to these spears being held by the angels.

"Theres someone who desperately wants to meet you." Evil said as he then pointed towards the farthest pit, the pit of repentance. The angels then chuckled and giggled as they lifted Falklore into the air via the spears. They then had baby angels come down and pour boiling blood on the chains which dripped all the way down onto him and even had some put a barbwired ring on his finger. A symbol that he was married to evil itself as he was unwavering in his drive to commit "good" regardless of the evil ot brought in the end.

A truly vile and despicable man. Falklore shouted out before he noticed O'Brien and Bastian who were complete shock at what was happening before their eyes. Bastian dropped into prayer. Praying to Nunn. Praying that there was good, that they were just seeing hell for what it was. That heaven did exist. That they were just damned for all they had done. Cause he'd rather live in hell for eternity than believe in the idea there never was a chance for good. That he never could and never would be able to commit a act of good. How could the one man he knew was good and fought for others wind up in hell? THAT DOSENT MAKE SENSE...right?

The thought terrified him so much he was brought to tears. O'Brien looked down at him completely shocked before looking over to Evil. He was still looking at the helmet as Falklore was flown away to the pit of repentance.

Falklore struggled to get free best he could, Karvarshal was still down there in the living world and if he was going to stop him he needed to get out of this place.

He looked down to see Evil floating along the ground following them. O'Brien looked at Bastian one last time before he too followed Evil. He watched as the angels continued to play their music until eventually they reached the pit. Evil and O'Brien stood outside of it, it was the deepest one by far and it looked to go on forever. He looked up to see the angels then with one tug retrack their spears and for Falklore to plumet down into the deepest depths of the pit.

"Whats going to happen to him?" O'Brien asked

"Want to find out?" Evil said as he extended his other hand due to him still holding the helmet of Falklore. O'Brien grabbed his hand and without even any sign of them teleporting or nothing they were at the bottom of the pit. It was large black marble floor in the center was Falklore who had fallen down, he was unconscious, blood seeping from his head. Evil's gaze still the same, cold and calm. O'Brien then noticed, there were two chairs on opposite sides of the pit, each had  a skeleton sitting in it. The one on the right had the skeleton holding a scythe and wearing a long and dark black cloth around it's waist.

"Death..." O'Brien said as he moved away from Evil looked at it, he then noticed the other skeleton. It was completely naked, nothing too special about it. That was until the blood from Falklore began to move towards it. The blood soon arrived to the skeleton on the left. The angels were playing as loud as ever. It almost like as if their music was shaking the sky it.

"And thus with this, we purge the greatest evil to ever exist from the face of existence." Evil said, the blood from Falklore began to create muscle for the skeleton, however the muscle looked burnt and burning red. It was creating muscle all up the skeletons legs to its chest.

"Let it give way, its burning and death give light to something better. In hopes of a new bright and shinning ray of cemented and truthful Injustice.

The ultimate farce and the ultimate evil. \*\*The mask of goodness\*\*, this man dared to wear such a thing. To hope and believe that what he did was of good intentions, deep down we're all evil. As attempts at change solidify evil's ways. This is not new, just to you.

We are all evil.

Even you, Falklore" Evil said as Falklore shook his head and got up shakily, he looked over and noticed Evil and O'Brien standing there at a distance. He noticed Evil holding his helmet.

Falklore clenched his fist, however thats when he'd notice the skeleton to his left growing back its muscle, the black cloth around Death in the other chair then flung off him and whipped past Falklore and went onto the waist of the other skeleton. The chorus of angels got louder and louder.

The skeleton then began to breath as the meat finally began to cover its face, its hands twitching and the sound of cracking bones as its back began to break like something was trying to break out. Falklore and O'Brien looked stunned. Falklore readied himself. The skeleton was screaming.

The chorus got louder. To the point everyone not even in this realm could hear it, the Seven, the brothers and Karvarshal and the prime conduit Creation and Infinity. All of them confused.

Dark bat like wings popped out of its back as it screamed and fell to its knees, Falklore backed away now in fear.

"Let him come!

Bring down his hammer, being down his might. A skull carved in gold and wings of ember black! Oh let him COME!

Bring fourth the spear of evil!" Evil shouted with him lifting the helmet of Falklore. O'Brien was visibly shaking as he backed aginst the wall of the pit.

A ray of lightning went flying through the realm and as the skies grew darker in the Book of Atrocities the lighting followed the path of the angels and the current until it was right above the pit of repentance.

Falklore looked up.

The skeleton then looked up as the lightning charged itself up until hitting and striking the skeleton multiple times, removing the meat from its skull now exposing a golden skull underneath. Each strike getting brighter and brighter until the last one struck with Evil shouting out.

"BRING FOURTH THE SPEAR OF EVIL!!!" he shouted as the last shot blinded everyone and rung loud like a hammer on iron.

Then everything was quiet.

Falklore and O'Brien's vision returned as they then saw a absolutely beyond terrifying sight. A golden skull.

The man then stood up slowly with his skull of gold and burning flesh and black bat like wings.

"Welcome, Vermel." Evil said.

O'Brien and Falklore were speechless,  it was him. No, it couldn't be him. This had to be a trick! Its impossible! their minds raced for a answer, but couldn't think of a single one.

Falklore's brain couldn't comprehend what he was facing, so scared he fell backwards and moved away from it.

Evil simply watched.

O'Brien watched as Vermel then moved his skull, he looked around and felt his head. He then took another deep breath. O'Brien was completely hypnotized, he had no idea how to process what he was seeing. Was this really Vermel? Was it a trick? He didn't know.

"How are you feeling?" Evil said walking over to Vermel, O'Brien now exposed ran over to hide behind some form of rock.

"...I was starting to feel like I was trapped in a giant plastic ball." Vermel spoke, his sounded different to others. For O'Brien he sounded like him and for Falklore the same.

"The cycle approaches its end. We must get ready to grab the most sinful ones and bring them here. Otherwise our actions will not be true." Evil said, thats when Vermel looked over to Falklore who started up and ran up the way out of the pit.

"Prolonging the suffering will only make your own repentance that much greater." Evil said calmly as he watched Falklore.

"Allow me." Vermel said, as soon as Falklore ran up and got out he bumped into Vermel immediately.

"Unfortunately hero, my other self. Was never on your side frommthe start." Vermel said as he immediately grabbed Falklore quicker than he could remotely try to react and would throw him down. He then would step on his chest, Falklore did everything to try to move it, yet obviously couldn't. Vermel then brought forth a sword which looked just like the being slayer. Falklore looked up in fear, his eyes completely unable to look away.

"Your body fell many ago, now. Let your spirit go. Let your suffering for your spread of evil begin." Vermel said as he stabbed Falklore right in the chest his blade sinking deep into him. Vermel then lifted up Falklore on the blade. He looked up to see Falklore chocking on his own blood and would notice him wearing the barbwired ring.

"The barb ring, you've married yourself to evil now. You will always end up here. No matter what you do." Vermel said as he then threw Falklore high into the sky.

"Go, your blade as has stained a many, its only fair that you feel all the cuts, gashes and swings of the blade.

Meet your fellow swordsman, down in the deeps where all blades of man are stained with evil." Vermel said as Falklore then began to plumet down with angels laughing and chuckling all the way down to the lowest part of the clouds until he fell from the sky and straight into a another pit. The pit of regression.

He'd fall all the way to the bottom, and when turning around would see an entire hole filled to the brimm with swords a plenty and many bodies having been skewered on them and yet even though their bodies were mangled and destroyed.  They yet could still feel pain and would feel that till the end of all things. Bodies such as EchoStar, The captain of the Oppressors and even the conduit of Pride.

The lowest level being self-righteousness. Falklore wanted to scream, but instead made a vow. Made a vow that he would in whatever cycle and whenever he got free. That he would destroy Evil, this place and do what was right!

He accepted his fate and was skewered onto the blades, the pain worse than anything he had ever bared before.

Vermel looked over before then seeing the First Son of Pain come over. She was nervous, but she asked for repentance. Vermel put his hand on her shoulder and made her kneel down. He then completely melted her into a past of flesh and bone. Bastian who was still there in the distance was in shock and tears at what was happening.

Down back below in the pit of repentance. O'Brien was still in complete and utter shock, Evil then turned to him.

"Now, you know." He said

Evil walked over to O'Brien who was deeply afraid and winced from him. Evil kneeled down to him and extended his hand.

"Do not be afraid. There is nothing to fear. I will not harm you." He said, O'Brien refused to look at him, but did grab his hand. The whole time he was here it was all filled with horrors and sights of cosmic horrors. How could he possibly not be afraid. Evil looked to O'Brien and told him to open his eyes when he opened them he was out of the pit and in a large garden, it was beautiful. There were a plethora of angels bathing in the water, sitting in the trees and singing. He looked around and then saw Vermel who was leaning against a a tree sitting with angels caring for him as it seemed whatever strange event had brought \*\*God\*\* here to this somewhat physical place was now gone. At least for now.

"Welcome to the garden of Sin. This is the most highest place you can ever be. Here in this place that connects all things lys here one of the most precious secrets of all.

However when you have finished what I will ask then you will be ready." Evil said as he took O'Brien's hand and lead him to the river pool in the near center of the garden.

"Allow me to baptize you in the pool of the wicked." Evil said, however O'Brien pulled away completely out of his gord on what was happening.

"What is this!? Whats going on right now?" O'Brien shouted, all the angels however didn't pay any attention as emotions were beneath them. Evil however was as calm as ever.

"Do not worry, This has all been preordained. Your fear now is only temporary. I wish to see you reborn.

You yourself have witnessed great evil and done great evil. By that nature you should be punished as many like you have. However  you've been on both sides of the fence. You've tried to play good and yet damned yourself into evil.

With your eyes open I have decided to choose you, to be my 5th Apostle. Replacing the one I lost." Evil said, O'Brien looked at him in curiosity and shock now.

"Apostles? 5th?" O'Brien thought to himself

"Apostles server me, or better put it \*\*us\*\*." Evil said gesturing to himself and Vermel who was still lifeless.

"They go out and do labors of which I bestow upon them. Once these labors have been finished you yourself will get closer and closer to neutrality. \*\*Perfection\*\*. A state of being not even the seven themselves posses." Evil said as he then gestured for O'Brien to walk with him.

"Once perfection is reached then and only then. Can you truly meet and see me for who I am. You will finally be what God has always wanted you to be.

Your mortal condition now seeks, it desires, it wants, it yearns and wishes. Those mortal things cannot be. The only way to become a Apostle the final evolution of mankind is to skin yourself of these things. This i can offer, but only if you are willing to accept the risk." Evil said

"What risk?" O'Brien asked

"To fail me, to fail at perfection itself is to be the worst kind of evil imaginable.

You fail, you will damned for all eternity and beyond, until the father himself eventually tales his last breath." Evil said, O'Brien felt himself grow worried at the thought and eventually shook it off.

"What if I refuse?" O'Brien asked

"Then you will be dropped back into your story, where you will continue to play out the rest of it as it was planned...then you will die.

Return here to me where I will have put to the pit for your long awaited repentance for your meaningless existence." Evil said as he looked down and touched a stray rose.

"What of Bri- uh Bastian?" O'Brien asked

"He has fallen back into the comfort of the normal man. Belief that there is a savior, a messiah who will lead him to the promiseland. Someone who will forgive me and accept him for who he is." Evil said

"Is there?" O'Brien asked

"No." Evil replied turning his head to him. They continued to walk down the stream and towards a large waterfall where more waterfalls all poured into this seemingly endless pool of water. O'Brien could see angels dancing along the waterfalls in the distance, chuckeling and giggling.

"How did they get here?" He asked

"The angels here are an extension of myself, they share my power, my will and my way of being.

None is weaker than the other, they protect this place when I am venturing through the endless scopes of the Empyrean." Evil said as he then walked back the way they came with O'Brien, when they returned O'Brien noticed Vermel was gone and all that was left was the skeleton from before. 2 angels picked it up and flew it back to the pit of repentance.

"Have you decided? Evil asked

"Can I have some more time to think on this? Not that your offer isn't great, but I would like some time to digest a little bit." He asked, Evil nodded and then walked over towards a nice awning and sat within it. His hair and darkness hold where his eye peaked out becoming much darker. His red eye stayed focused on O'Brien.

Deep within the pit of repentance, Evil was walking back and fourth between the deceased death and skeleton of Vermel.

He touched his mask as he was thinking of his next step was.

"The world, is weak. Weak minded, weak willed and weak in nature. Seems as though evil has become something that looks to fester under the skin now. Something that digs itself into the mind until it finally pops.

BANG!

Murder.

Rape.

Death.

Disease.

And rot filled food to poison the children and have their souls dragged back to me.

...That O'Brien will make a decent addition to the Apostles...until I'm bored.

I must cease this worthless cycle. Had i had the being slayer. I could eradicate it for good...then they'd all be here. Living in their rightful pits." He said as he left the pit of repentance and went to the one of regression to see Falklore suffering. He watched as angels below poked at and stabbed sharp objects into the bodies of the so called "warriors".

"Feasting upon heroism like a nip, you try to justify countless deaths, genocides and more with your wrongful actions taken against the world.

Your actions are comparable to that of a common thief. You shed no real blood. Instead you bleed put the crowds, you bleed out the children and you bleed out the world. You bleed them of their hopes and dreams.

You are crazy, delusional actually. What kind if sane man goes around killing people dressed as a knight. Dressed as a Samurai." Evil said looking down, his eye meeting the pale, dried and damaged eye of Falklore.

"You were destined to fail, even with the most powerful weapon in all of Eden you still were brought down by your own misdeeds and vicious acts.

You yourself are so terrible, so wrong in your convection and drive that you purposely made others think that there was a brighter side to life itself.

How cruel can you be? You might be a better talker than me...No, I don't think so now that I think about it." Evil said as he bent down and grabbed Falklore's helmet which was placed infront of the pit.

He looked at it a bit.

"The cycles end draws near, I think I'll go and pay the Kingdom of Eden a quick visit." Evil said when he then remembered the fighting going on between Karvarshal, CoI and Creation.

"Actually, I'll go pay someone else a visit." Evil said as he looked over to O'Brien who was sitting on the grass. Then to Bastian who was still praying.

Evil then took a step forward and was now in the redwood dimension. It was nearly destroyed. The fighting going on here was intense. Evil looked over towards where the fighting was happening. He then heard chocking, he looked down to see Quella coughing as she was resting.

"Blasphemy." Evil said, Quella's whole body froze, she looked up to see Evil looking directly at her.

"...Evil." she said with baited breath, she then looked down at his hand and saw him carrying Falklore's helmet.

"What did you do to BEN!" she screamed out, the fight between Karvarshal, Creation and CoI stopped at the sound of screaming.

"What the hell?" CoI said, Karvarshal looked and saw it. He didn't even need to know it was him. He could feel it. Evil then looked over to Falklore's physical body and flew over towards it. Quella and them all watched.

"Is that-"

Loud rumbling could be heard below.

"That son of a bitch." CoI said as he flew over there, Karvarshal didn't pay it much mind as he to flew over and they all landed near by.

"GET AWAY FROM HIM YOU FREAK OR I'LL CUT YOUR DAMN HEAD OFF!" Quella shouted as then two angels came down next to Evil and both were poking and picking at Falklore's body.

"Why is he here..." CoI asked

"Its the end of the cycle, im not suprised he'd peak his head out. " Creation said as Karvarshal landed directly behind Evil who turned his head to him.

"So your the conduit of Evil in the flesh. Heheh, I'm not impressed." Karvarshal said as he put his hook hand on Evil's shoulder.

"Still feeling lucky?" Karvasrshal asked

The rumbling got louder

"Your desire for power is as folly as the attempts to deny you from others. Your ultimately going to drown under the weight of your own selfishness and soon when your evil has puffed up and grown into a spore. I'll be there to pop it open and count each single wrong you've done." Evil said

"Huh? You some kind of judge or something? What you said made no sense pal." Karvarshal

"Evil itself is never unclear. What do yo are you missing?

The feeling that came with your dirty deeds, that desire for strength and overwhelming power only soured your mind and others. Your evil is so simple yet so powerful it grows like a fungus in your brain, a disease in your system and a cancer in your soul.

You ultimately cling to power cause you were weak when your were a child. You let evil gobble you up and tear at your tears of self-doubt and insecurity. Now you beg for more cause you never had it. Pitiful." Evil said

"SHUT UP!" Karvarshal said as he picked Evil up by his neck, thags when CoI looked at Creation and Quella.

"We can't stay here much longer, his demented words can seap into the soul and make one ponder. QUELLA!" CoI shouted, she looked at him and then Falklore's body. She closed her eyes in sadness before running off with the other two conduits and dissapearing.

"You think you know better than me!?" Karvarshal shouted

"Yes." Evil said

"WRONG ANSWER!" Karvarshal said as he then shoved his fist through Evil's chest attempting to grab his conduit soul. However his insides felt like tar, it burnt off Karvarshal's hand and caused him pain undreamt of. He fell to the ground crying at how much it burned and stung.

Evil floated to the ground and healed up his body. The two angels there then picked up Falklore's  body and flew off with it. Evil then felt the ground rumble once more. He then looked at Karvarshal who was still wincing in pain.

"Pure unadulterated evil. Thats what I am, not someone bound to a concept like these conduits.

I make for quite the bad luck charm." He said as he and Karvarshal then watched as out of the mist below the redwood the mighty and large Uvak would burst out roaring a large and mighty roar. Uvak's eyes then looked at Karvarshal and immediately made B-Line for him. Karvarshal's eye shrank with unbridled fear. He immediately turned to Evil who was staring at him.

Thats when Uvak would devour Karvarshal before he could even process what had happened. Uvak stared at Evil and vice versa. Uvak then retreated back to his lair on the void below.

"...Such a pity." Evil said

\*Back with 404 and the gang\*

Everyone met up at the beach, 404 and the others all were dressed in some fancy training gear and gauntlets on their wrist. Also everyone had decided to wear shorts and gum shirts.

"Ok guys, we've relaxed for too long now!" 404 shouted

"Hey babe I'm gonna be over there with our stuff. Did you want a snack or anything?" Chara asked

"Chara, I'm in the middle of giving a big dramatic speech here." 404 said

"I don't care if you are fighting God himself, you better answer me when I talk to you.

Anyway, I'm going to sunbathe." He said as he walked off, 404 groaned as he turned to see some of his brothers snickering.

"Guess we know who wears the pants in the relationship." Delios said nudging Warlock who completely was above normal squabbles so had no idea what the interaction was between 404 and Chara.

"..."

Delios just looked at him and scratched his head.

"Anyway! If we're going to get Omni's conduit back we need to work together. Be stronger and most of all! Be reliant on the capabilities of others.

I know this feels weird, we all never wanted anything to do with the other. Infact at some points probably wish death upon the other.

Well-"

"Look William I'm sure you practiced this speech a lot in the shower, but some of us actually want to start training.

No offense either, but your no leader. So move on and let's get started." Omni said calmly. Everyone looked between them.

"Fine then, the gauntlets you got on I made, should weigh a infinite amount, besides your Delios. Yours way about as much as New York city." 404 said

"Ah ok." Delios though to himself as he moved his arms.

"Damnit thats heavy, I can still move though. Looks like my body hasn't gotten stiff.

...at some point I'll be strong like them too. If not, at least a little more." Delios said to himself

Warlock easily moved his weights around while Infected and Alpha had a little bit of trouble. Omni however wasn't so much.

"Hope I'm not too late." Said a voice behind them, they all looked to see none other than-

"FRISK!" they all shouted besides 404 and Omni

"YOUR ALIVE!?" Alpha shouted

"I'll be damned." Omni said

"Are you a ghost?" Infected asked

"You got a little taller." Delios said

"Warlock." Warlock said

"\*groans\*" from Samson.

"Good to see you all too." Frisk said with sarcasm.

"Hey, did any of yall feel thay just now?" Alpha asked

"What?" 404 asked as everyone else was confused.

"...I guess maybe it was nothing. Nevermind lets continue." Alpha said as they all got ready to train. Chara still sunbathing near by.

Within Reality 6 Error would wake up ontop of a giant stack of hay. Error looked around and saw his clothes were torn and damaged, he then heard giggling and laughter. He looked up to see Ink chuckeling to himself in the shadows.

"Its all ours, we did it. We made the right choice. We have our own soul.

Do we? Are we free like we wanted? In the end all things come to being what they once were. We are just another set in this infinite system. We are yet to achieve the archetype we desire. We are still missing one \*\*piece\*\*." Ink said as he turned around, his purple eyes looking at Error who just looked at him. His old enemy no longer anything like he used to be.

"I may have never liked you, wished for your death countless times.

But anything, anything would have been better than to see you like this." Error said as Ink's head extended towards him with a wide smile.

"Just what do you know of sorry states? Last I checked there was still a piece of us on you. Or are you hiding that? Just like you hide everything else.

You've changed too, your unrecognizable even without the intervention of other forces. You did that all on your own." Ink said, Error looked at him without no expression. Just melancholy in his heart.

"When do you intend to leave him creature?" Error asked

"We aren't going anywhere." Ink answered.

"Something is coming, oh yes, very very very close!" Ink chuckled

Error looked at him and then out towards the sky.

"How did we get here? Where is Vape and that Bio guy?" Error asked

"A glitch in reality caused a wide range reset. A mere coincidence." Ink said as he shaped his body into a ball. Error kicked him away and walked in the other direction.

"HOW RUDE!" Ink shouted as he bounced away.

"I need to pay him a vist, he should be back by now. Hope his adventures with that weird rainbow freak went alright.

He'll defiantly want to know what's going on in here." Error said

In 404's old HQ Vape and The rest of BioTale stood there looking over everything.

"We'll make this the base of operations, Asgore, Toriel and Undyne clear out all universes surrounding this place. I don't want any prying eyes.

S-" however before Bio!Gaster could finish Bill!Sans would show up.

"Hey there busy buddy of mine! I haven't seen you here in-" he then stopped when he saw everyone there.

"....uhhh whoops! Wrong room! Guess I better split." Bill chuckled, but before he could even escape Bio!Muffet would use webs to grab him and pull him straight to the ground.

"ARGAH! HEY! If your looking for a fight you bett-" but Bill would shut his mouth when he looked up see Bio!Mettaton's foot raised above his head.

"Hold it Mettaton, Answer me something creature. Your old friends with William aren't you? What kind of wishes can and did you do for him?" Bio!Gaster asked

"How did you know I could do that?" Bill asked

"Its within my right to know, now answer the question." He replied

"...just basic stuff." Bill said, Bio!Gaster looked to Mettaton who without even hesitating immediately stomped on Bill's head crushing it. A strange yellow mist would erupt his body and attempt to escape, but Bio!Sans would immediately use his own version of blue magic to grab the mist and vaporize it.

"Good job. Now then about the rest of the plan." Bio!Gaster said as he turned to Vape who was smoking a blue mist.

"Not that I don't trust your guy's abilities, but we're going to need a few more helping hands if we really want to complete your mission." Vape said

"You know something, you haven't exactly explained why your adding us. No offense to you, you did tell us who possessed the Conduit soul after all." Asked Bio!Undyne, yet Vape said nothing

"Leave him be, he has his goals and we have ours. Besides, this is far as our little partnership goes.

Get in our way again creature and you will end up just how we did that caped crusader." Bio!Gaster said

Vape simply looked at him.

Bio!Gaster then turned around to the rest of his team.

"Sans, I want you to take Papyrus and Frisk with you to the location of where 404's precious little paradise is at.

Undyne, Beatrice and Muffet.

Began the extinction program." He said

Everyone then teleported or flew off to do their assigned task.

Sans, Papyrus and Frisk flying out of reality in search of new 404's home.

Omni and Alpha were fighting one another. Alpha throwing hands and kicking at Omni who kept dodging and parrying all of his attacks. Delios and Frisk were training with each other.

404 however was meditating as he desired to get to understand his conduit better, even if it was the equivalent to a knock-off. Infected was also meditating...or trying to.

"You lack uniqueness, form and most of all identity." Omni said as he tripped Alpha causing him to fall on the ground.

"And you-" Alpha got up shaking himself off.

"Lack expression." Alpha smirked, Omni then immediately went in to deliver a few quick punches only for Alpha to dodge them and immediately parry the next attack and follow it with a mean right hook to Omni's jaw. Omni backed up a few paces feeling it.

"Hows that for form?" Alpha said cracking his knuckles

"This is meant to be training. Try not to kill each other please and thank you." 404 said as he continued to meditate. Infected however was having some difficulties as even though he may have shown great resolve in his attempts at forgetting the past...it would seem the past wasn't ready to forget him.

"Come on...why the hell can't I focus!?" Infected shouted to himself

"Hey don't stress yourself. Meditation is something I had to learn. Its all about having complete control over your mental state." 404 said patting Infected on the shoulder.

"...Do I even still have one of those." Infected said as he watched his hand turn into a dimly lit purple.

"I know what you mean." 404 said as he felt the scars on his face. They both continued to attempt at focusing.

"Feeling a little disconnected?" Frisk asked as he kicked Delios back whi blocked with one of his hammers.

"No, its not that. I just...I don't feel too useful right now. Beforehand I was the best there was. Now? I'm...well I'm not as useful as when \*\*she\*\* was around." Delios said

"...You talking about her? She dosent control your life anymore D, let her go." Frisk said

"No, it isn't that...its ain't like I can't sleep her away. The stuff she said, the words she meant. It goes deeper than torture. You know that...right?" Delios asked to which Frisk then remembered vivid memories of a few of his most tragic moments at her hand.

"...Yea, I do." He said, Infected got up shaking his head.

"I'm going to get some air." He said, with 404 confused cause they were already outside.

Infected walked past where Chara was sunbathing.

"You shouldn't have come back." He said, Infected stopped, but he didn't face him.

"..."

Infected didn't say anything

"I don't know what it is you did to make William so...delusional. but don't think for a \*\*second\*\* that i trust you! All you've ever been good at is being weird and hurting people. He has enough problems to deal with already.

He'd be better off without you Jacob and so would I." He said putting his shades back on. Infected looked at him and then kept walking. His feet dragging across the sand.

"The feeling of vengeance creeping up your spine, oh yes. Thats the face of someone who hates being dragged back down to reality.

Thats the face of someone...\*\*Who's sins are crawling up his BACK!!!\*\*" Hell!Seeker chuckled as a small black devil formed on Infected's shoulder.

"...Leave me alone." Infected said shooing him away.

"You can't forget your past! You'll always be a monster!

Why fight it all? Why try so desperately to come back to reality only for it to reject you completely?

Seems like a folly existence.

Especially when we can destroy it. Think about!" Hell!Seeker said

"No, I won't. I've moved on." Infected said

"No you haven't, you just keep telling yourself that so that way the monster dosent come back. So that \*\*Infected\*\* truly stays buried.

But how long can you keep this up i wonder?" Hell!Seeker said

"I SAID! GET FUCKING LOST!" Infected shouted swatting Hell!Seeker to the ground. Hell!Seeker grew just a bit more.

"Yes! Keep fanning that flame sooner or later. You too will be consumed. Besides, even you can't escape your past. William is only your first layer of pain." Hell!Seeker said before he was stomped out by a black heel. Infected's eyes oponed with absolute fear, he looked at the heel and then up to see none other than...

"Mommy's home." Astral said with a smile.

"...No" Infected said terrified beyond belief.

End of Chapter 5

### Fate Seeker, Chapter Six: Apollo & The mighty Great Willow

Infected looked in complete horror at what had shown its ugly face once again. The Astral mother chuckled to herself before walking towards Infected menacingly. She then looked underneath her heel and saw Hell!Seeker under it. She picked it up and looked at it.

"So, seems you haven't truly gotten rid of what I did to you all those years ago." She smirked

"Y-You! Your the last wall!" Infected shouted

"Heheh, I'm no wall imbecile. I'm your biggest wall. The thing you'll never be able to get over. Cause at the end of the day. I'm still your mother." Astral smiled

"You are not! My mother!" Infected shouted in anger

"Yes, I can feel that!" Hell!Seeker shouted in ecstasy as his flame grew brighter.

"YES! GROW IN YOUR ANGER! YOUR MADNESS! You truly are my greatest  masterpiece!" Astral screamed out with joy.

"ENOUGH!" Infected shouted as he then transformed into Hell!Seeker and smiled a wicked smile.

"Heheheh! Crazy bitch! You think you control me!?" Hell!Seeker grined as multiple Astral Mother's popped up around Infected. Some of them getting closer and smiling.

However in reality all the brothers looked in shock at a dazed and clearly mind controlled Hell!Seeker.

"Jacob?!" Omni shouted

"What the hell is he doing?!" Alpha shouted. 404 ran forward and saw Infected in his Hell!Seeker state. His heart beating fast. All the brothers looked at each other. Chara got up looked at Infected, flashes and trauma from that faithful day revisting his and the minds of others.

"HE WAS LYING THIS WHOLE TIME!" Delios shouted

"Stop, Jacob isn't like this." Omni said

"No point in talking it over! We need to get him before he can do anything to us!" Frisk shouted, Omni looked at Jacob and then to Alpha who nodded to him. Omni then gripped his chest and summoned fourth his lightning.

Everyone was ready to attack them.

"...I wont fail this time! I'll strike first!" Alpha shouted as he then flew forward past 404 who was still in shock and frozen. Alpha summoned his blade and went in for the killing blow.

"You'll never change, you'll always be a monster. Nothing to change to, nothing to grow from. You think you can move on from the past? Yet look at you? So quick to vengeance." The Astral mother chuckled, Infected looked down at the dark ground of the sand and saw his reflection in a puddle.

His face then going from one of madness to one of sorrow.

"Oh...God." he thought to himself. Was it really that easy? Was it that easy for him to turn back? One small thing to turn him into that monster once again.

"Now! Are you going to stand still and die!? Or are you going to fight the world!" She shouted

"..."

Infected's flames then began to die down as he fell to his knees with tears welling in his eyes.

"WILLIAM WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" Shouted Alpha as everyone looked to 404 in shock to see him standing between the dazed Infected and Alpha who had stopped his sword swing inches from 404.

"...I'm doing what I should have done with you...a long time ago." 404 said as he stood there with his arms spread open.

"HES GOING TO KILL YOU! STEP OUT OF THE WAY!!!" Alpha screamed

"WILLIAM DONT SACRIFICE YOURSELF FOR THAT MONSTER!" Chara screamed

"HES NOT A MONSTER!!!" 404 shouted

"Hes my brother"

Infected's eyes oponed wide as those words echoed in his mind. He then looked up to see he was back at hotland. On the roof of Astral's lab. The Astral mother looking up at him, pointing to him. It was that scene. From all those years ago.

"...William?" Jacob said looking to William. William then looked to Jacob and put his hand on his shoulder.

"I am not abandoning you." William said, Jacob's eyes filled with tears.

"A happy ending without you, isn't a happy ending at all." William said.

"...Th...thats...thats all I've ever wanted to hear..." Jacob said as he cried into William's shoulder who held him tight. The Astral mother disappearing.

Outside everyone looked to see 404 kneeled to Infected who was still unconscious.

"I won't abandon you." 404 said much to everyone's surprise and shock. Chara was about to rush ahead, but Warlock stopped him before he could go anywhere.

"Amber."Warlock said

"My life has been one of bloodshed, hate, madness and everlasting grief.

I wanted to move on, but never found the strength on my own. It seems, that the reason why...is because I never was meant to stand alone.

William...you've shown me what it means to have a heart again. To trust again. You put yourself in front of me this time. Stood for me.

Aginst everyone, even after it all.

How can someone so broken, be so kind?

Is this your soul? Is this the warmth that I was looking for? This soul of love? Of brotherhood?

If so, I'll do the same. I'll go ahead.

I'll go ahead and be...

A \*\*Soul!Seeker\*\*." Infected thought to himself. Everyone watched in shock as Infected's once known purple flames, turned a calming blue.

His Hell!Seeker state now changing to a variant of itself. Something more pure, heartfelt and calm.

"You seem relatively calm for what just happened dude. You good? Frisk asked

"...I feel fine, yet I also don't feel anything? Its like a constant state of calmness. Its weird." Infected said as he shut off his Soul!Seeker state.

"How about we put it to the test then?" Omni said as he cracked his knuckles. Everyone looked at him.

"Heheh, You clearly are compensating for something." Delios said

"Or perhaps cause of the fact he lost the conduit." Alpha said

"...How about it just be you and me Adam? Since you seem so inclined to try to put me down." Omni said

"No ones trying to do anything. You did it to yourself." Alpha said as the two stood off to one another.

Everyone watched as Omni and Alpha circled each other.

"Dont let your emotions get the better of you...oh what am I kidding. Of course they will." Omni said in a calm tone. Alpha then summoned his new judgment blade.

"Carful Ares, your emotions are showing." Alpha smirked. Omni then immediately flew forward and before Alph could react sucker punched him across the beach. Alpha skidd across the sand and then would barley dodge a lightning bolt from Omni. The lighting bolt that was thrown then would turn into Omni who threw two more only for Alpha to use his change ability to switch their places.

"Hmp, Clever." Omni said as he blocked how own attack. Alpha landed on the sand breathing a bit heavy as he could feel his hands already shaking.

"Shit..." Alpha thought only for Omni to jump right back into it and kick Alpha in the jaw and straight into the clouds. Alpha then looked down and turned the clouds into large spears and aimed them at Omni.

"Tch." Omni then reeled his fist back and punched them all into atoms, destroying the attack and sending Alpha flying back from the shockwave.

"Hes gotten really good at using his conduit." Infected said

"Yea, however Adam has always been driven by emotion. Its not always a bad thing, it can even give a boost in most situations. However. In a one on one like this. Its best to have a clear head.

Ares should objectively be the winner." 404 said

"That may be true. However the objective truth is in this is that Adam has always hit harder." Delios said

Warlock and Samson watched the battle.

Omni flew up into the sky slowly while Alpha shook and twitched from the electricity coming off from Omni's attack.

"Come on now." Omni said, Alpha looked forward to see Omni floating near him.

"With that conduit power of yours i shouldn't even be able to touch you. Is your Conduit that pathetic?

...No, just the user." Omni said, Alpha growled as he flew in began attacking Omni who dodged every attack.

"CHANGE!" Alpha shouted as he then changed reality to where every attack he threw always hit Omni. Alpha then used a slam attack, yet even though Omni dodged out of the way he still got hit with it which sent him spiraling towards the ocean. Omni stopped himself mere feet from it.

"...ok, I've encountered this before. Its just like when I faced off aginst William before.

I just need to move faster than his little change can affect reality again." Omni said as he began to vibrate his body beyond the fabrics of Alpha's new reality he had created.

"You know something funny Ares? I respected a lot about you before you threw away your humanity. Now your just some shell with a name tag." Alpha said as he then transformed into his new form \*\*Primeval Judge\*\*. Dawning new glowing eyes and a burning blue wings.

"You know if I didn't know any better Adam, it looks like you abandoned your humanity long before I did." Omni said which immediately pissed Alpha who went straight into a dive attack at Omni. Omni then prepared himself, however he had a better idea. He stood still and looked at Alpha flying at him.

Omni's body kept vibrating and vibrating and \*\*vibrating\*\*!!.

Until-

When Alpha went for the swing- everyone suddenly just saw a giant splash as a large scale tsunami came coming their way. 404 then used his control over reality to make it no more. Alpha was deep into the ocean when he then saw that he hadn't hit Omni. He flew up out of the sea and looked around a bit.

"What-"

"Star struck?" Omni said behind Alpha who turned around. He looked completely seething.

"HOW DID YOU DODGE THAT!? I MADE IT SO-"

"So you would always hit me? You just put a layer over reality that I couldn't counter. Until I went too fast for your reality to set in." Omni said

"What?! Your too fast?" Alpha asked with confusion

"No, your just too stupid to think faster than I can move." Omni said which pissed Alpha off even more.

The time of day grew darker and darker, while Omni and Alpha continued to put out more and more work. Both of them fought each other till midnight.

Omni and Alpha had fought all the way till they were out at sea near a rocky Cliffside...somewhere. Alpha was leaning on his sword while Omni was still standing infront of him with his arms crossed with few bruises.

"You...think, your better than me. You...think you got some sort of EDGE!?

WELL YOU DONT! I've had to work harder than anyone. In a family where brains were admired more than brawns. I WORKED HARD! I WORK HARD!" Alpha shouted

"More like you complain hard." Omni replied

"THATS IT!!"  Alpha shouted as he charged at Omni only for him phase through him, due to Omni being too fast. Omni then grabbed Alpha's leg and slammned him to the ground. He then pinned him to the ground and began to pummel him. Slamming his fist into his face, one after the other. Each punch leaving a crack, each slam with his fist a tooth lost. Omni was hitting Alpha in the face with everything. Blood splattered everywhere. Eventually Alpha would wake up after a few hours. It was deep into the night. He looked around and felt his jaw to see he had lost a few teeth, had a black eye and was severely, \*\*severely\*\* injured. He struggled to get up and then saw Omni sitting on a far off rock.

"You want to know why you'll never best me? Want to know why I can read you so easily?

Its cause your just like \*\*her\*\*." Omni said

"What? I'm nothing like my mother!" Alpha shouted

"Yes, Your the spitting image of her. You just can't see it. Might have something to do with that lacking of brains that you just mentioned." Omni said

"AM I SOME KIND OF JOKE TO YOU!?

I'm trying my best! Everyday! All I want to be is better!" Alpha said

"Then \*\*be\*\* better." Omni said

"...I don't know what I was expecting from the favorite child." Alpha said as he spit put some blood.

"Being the favorite has its cons." Omni said as he looked out into the stormy sea.

Alpha struggled to get up. Omni then looked to Alpha and scratched his head.

"Are we done now? With \*\*this\*\*." Omni asked with yet the same stinging and glass piercing coldness in his voice that he gave to everyone and yet when it hit Alpha. It cut deeper.

"...N-...y...yes." Alpha said as he fell to his knees. He then scram as he punched the ground.

"DAMNIT! ITS NOT FAIR!!" Alpha cried, Omni looked down at Alpha.

This child, unwilling to stand alone, out of the shadow of his parent.

That is when Alpha had memories resurface from a time long since passed. One from his childhood.

"Come one! Stand." Astral shouted as she was looking into a test tube. She moved it a bit only for the experiment to fail. She leaned back in her chair.

"Mommy" shouted a voice, Astral groaned and turned around to see a young infant Adam walking over with his teddy bear. She looked at him. He looked at her.

"Sorry for interrupting. " Adam whined

"...What's wrong?" She asked

"I couldn't sleep...William was kicking me." Adam said sniffing, Astral scoffed and looked around.

"Does it look like there are beds around here boy? She asked with a stern tone.

"..." Adam kicked at the ground, nervous and still sniffing. Astral looked at him and then got up. She looked at him and saw his face. All wet and covered in snot. His adorable baby clothes and his little chubby self.

"Alright come on." She said as she extended her hand to him. He waddled over to her and grabbed her leg. He began to cry and weep.

"Shhhh, its ok ok. Mommy is here. Mommy is here." Astral said patting Adam's back. She then picked him up and wiped his face with her sleeve.

"Clean yourself up. If your grandmother was here she would have thrown a fit about you acting like this. Lets go." She picked him up and took him all the way out to her room. She then placed him on the bed and sat next to him. Adam looked at her and saw how tired she was. His mother had bags under her eyes and split ends in her hair. She was exhausted.

"...Your mommy is a bad person." She said, Adam not knowing any of what she had said just hugged her.

"I don't deserve this, any of this. I deprive others of their happiness and tarnish their dreams. I've killed so many people and yet all I can feel is...disappointment." she said

Adam didn't know how to process what she said, so he just continued to hug her. Alpha then returned to reality as the rain had began to settle. His mind more untuned than ever.

Uvak was slumbering in the void, his blackness and void spreading everywhere and everywhen.

Suddenly though  Uvak would begin to feel a rumbel in his guts, he got up and looked to see something poking.

"YOUVE EATER THE WRONG ONE YOU FUCKONG PYTHON!" shouted Karvarshal, his voice ringing in Uvak's head as Karvarshal used his hook hand and cut himself right out of Uvak's stomach. Uvak screamed as he then tail slammed Karvarshal who punched it away, Uvak's tail hitting the back of the absolute void which made a giant crack in the world of Eden itself. As Uvak and Karvarshal continued to brawl. Three pairs of eyes stared at the crack in the world from the outside.

"There you are." Said a ominous voice.

Uvak heard it and turned around. Karvarshal then looked behind the void serpent and saw as something began to punch and break away at the crack in the world.

Thats when two large "hand" like objects grabbed at the crack and began to pull it apart.

"KARVARSHAL!!!" Shouted Darval from the otherside. His voice so loud it even shook the earliest reaches of the Book of Truth. Yet was not enough to get the attention of God.

"....oh shit." Karvarshal said in complete fear, Uvak, also terrified immediately fled the scene.

"YOUR SOUL! HAND IT OVER!" shouted Vval

WATCH YOUR SOUL...heheheheAHAHAHHAHH laughed Uheval, Karvarshal was completely frozen.

\*\*In the Au of UnderHell.\*\*

Hell Sans was simply sitting down at his post. Not thinking or daydreaming. Just simply there.

"Sans#666, Your attendance is required." Said a voice near him, Hell looked over and saw Loading floating near by.

"...I'm retired." Hell said as he just stay sat down.

"This isn't a issue that can be ignored. BioTale is on the attack and you were heavily requested in case of emergencies just like this." Loading said

"...Who's list would that be?" Hell asked as snow continued to fall around him and Loading.

"You've fought him before, for the safety of this...hovel of a world." Loading said

Flashes of blue ran through Hell's head as he then waved them away.

"No thanks, I said I'm through. This \*\*hovel\*\*, is all I need now." Hell said. Loading then turned around a motioned for some others to come over. Hell looked over to see Killer.JPG and D+ walking over. D+ stood back a bit while Killer walked up to Hell.

"..."

"..."

"Why are you here?" Hell asked

"I should be asking you that. Multiverse is in danger, this home of yours is in danger and yet your just sitting around.

I thought you would do anything for your Au?" Killer said, D+ looked at Killer and then to Hell. Hell's eyes were empty, yet seemed full of anything but happiness.

"I \*\*will\*\*. Let the invaders come." Hell said as he still sat down.

"You can't beat them alone. Your going to need help, we're forming a team to do just that. They've already wiped out half of the Multiverse." Killer said, yet Hell still didn't budge.

"No, I won't fight for another again. I'm not you." Hell said looking to him.

"...I didn't have a choice." Killer said

"Yes you did, you could have come with me. You knew I wasn't long for Nightmare's little parade.

I broke out, I got free. You, you stayed. Out of fear. Even though I know your strong enough. Then you got tossed away. Just like I said you would be." Hell said, Killer scoffed as he looked away.

"Thats enough of this shit!" D+ said pushing Killer.JPG out of the way. Hell's eyes locked onto him.

"Guess even all that torment from 404 couldn't give you better talking skills." D+ said, Hell's eyes then oponed wide.

"What did you say?!" Hell said standing up. Loading then looked over.

"404? Is that his name? The name of the man who took away Killer after Nightmare threw him away?

..." Hell thought himself.

"Huh? You got beef with 404? He isn't around right now. However your more than welcome to strike up a conversation with his little protégé hehe." D+ chuckled

"...If I join you, I want something in exchange." Hell said

"What?" D+ asked

"I want to fight \*\*404\*\*." Hell said shocking D+, Killer and Loading a little.

D+ looked back at Loading who had no input to put into this.

"Hehe, sure, but fair warning. Hes much stronger than you." D+ said as the two shook hands.

"How so?" Hell asked

"What are you fighting him for anyway!? Your going to get yourself killed doing something so stupid!" Killer shouted

"He took you in, made you into a puppet and now look. Are you free?" Hell asked which Killer couldn't answer. Yet that was all he needed to hear. Hell looked at his fist and sqeezed harder cracking it a bit.

"My \*\*Determination\*\* are all I need." Hell said when D+ began laughing

"You joking right? Heheh, DT ain't going to help you this time pal! I don't care who you've faced. You may be the strongest mortal, but your now God. Not like \*\*him\*\*. He's much more than whatever you could imagine.

I was lucky to even beat him once in the many times we fought. To be honest, he's the only excitement I get when it comes to facing these clowns. That and his little mini me. Heheh." D+ said

"DT will do just fine." Hell said

"How much do you intend to collect? No amount will be enough yaknow." D+ said scratching his face.

"It was never about the amount, just the quality." Hell said

"Tch, your gonna fail...but what do I know right?" D+ said as he turned around crossing his arms.

"Exactly." Hell said, to which D+ began to get annoyed and turned to him.

"You think you know DT better than I do?" D+ said

"Tell me something, did you see the eyes too?" Hell asked

"What?" D+ said, thats when he remembered being surrounded by untitled eyes after reaching the ceiling of how much DT you can normally obtain.

"I...How do you-....yes, yes I did see them." D+ responded. Hell looked at him and then saw he still had his eyes.

"And you still have your eyes, which means your not even past the first layer yet." Hell said

"First layer?" D+ said completely confused

"\*\*Determination\*\* isn't just firming your purpose, it's defying the wills of others to make your purpose, your motive and goal the sole reason reality even is.

Weird stuff I know, honestly I don't think I even said it right. I was on the toilet when it popped in my head." Hell said to which everyone then lost massive amounts of investment into this.

"You...had this come to you...on the shitter?" D+ said

"Yup." Hell said still as serious as ever.

"The Dreamland is where all dreams become real, its where you can meet loved ones. Where you can acoplism anything and be anyone.

Dream in dear ones, know that you will all go where dreams are laid in the womb of reality. In the presence of...

\*\*The Great Willow\*\*"

- The Dream Weaver

Back in 404's Sub-Reality everyone was at his home relaxing after so much training.

Infected was crouched outside sitting near the swing set.

404 was sitting in his bedroom looking at his old outfit, sitting in the closet.

"BASTARDS, ALL OF YOU!"

"YOU KILL EVERYTHING YOU TOUCH!"

"DEVIL OF THE MULTIVERSE!"

"MURDERER! MURDERER!!!"

Voices screamed in 404's as he hastily slammned the closet door. 404 began to hyperventilate as he could hear ringing in his head. Sweat dripping down his face as he could see his hands visibly shaking. However a gentle hand would  be placed on his leg. He looked down and saw Penny.

"Penny? What are you doing up?" He asked

"I heard a loud noise, are you ok?" She asked, 404 took a knee to her pat her on the head. Penny smiled and stuck her tounge out playfully.

"Is this reality? Am I living a dream? Or perhaps maybe the nightmare just hasn't settled in just yet." 404 thought to himself as he smiled to Penny.

404 walked Penny to her room and closed the door to his room. He put her to bed. Tucking her in tight. He patted her head one more time as she stated at him.

"Night dad." Penny

"Night cupcake." 404 said as he turned off the light to her room and closed the door behind him. He then turned around to see the door to his room open.

"I swore I closed that." 404 said as he walked to his room. He went in and looked around. He rubbed his face and shook his head as he then used his blue mastery to shut the door. He took note of him using his powers like that, but payed it no mind. He walked over to the closet, opened  it and stared at his old outfit. He stared at it.

He then heard the sound of the toilet flushing in the bathroom in the room. He turned and looked at the door.

"Babe, you think you can pour me a glass of water from the sink in there please." 404 asked as he then began to put on his PJs.

"Babe, you think you can pour me a glass of water from the sink in there please." Said 404's voice from inside the bathroom. 404's eyes immediately shrank as he then transformed into his Perfect 404 form immediately. He then began to slowly make his way to the bathroom, he out his palm on the door.

"Who are you? What are you doing in my home?" 404 asked as he pressed aginst the door ready to blast whoever was behind it. A few seconds went by before suddenly...

\*\*FLUSH\*\*

The sound of the toilet flushing went off, and then again, and again and again and again. 404 was completely confused as he then oponed the door to see none other than AlphaTale.EXE using one of its appendages to flush the toilet.

"SALUTATIONS!" EXE said in the voice of God. 404 looked at it in complete disbelief.

"What-"

"Why did you hang it up?" Said another voice. 404 turned around to the Architect staring at his old outfit.

"You too?! What are you both doing here?!" 404 shouted as he walked back into he room. Chara who was in the kitchen heard him yelling and looked down the hall.

"Babe? Are you alright?" Chara yelled, 404 immediately locked the door to the room. The Architect stood up and his immediately rotated to another face on his pentagon shaped head.

"OMG! He looks so cute! Can we keep him!?" Said the Architect as it suddenly began to express different mannerisms, entirely different from his normal more coded and serious tone. This one was cheerful and peppy.

"HE IS NOT CUTE!" Said another rougher voice, 404 looked over to see the Architect sigh as his spun around a again to a different face. This one looking more grumpy and rude.

"What kind of God fabrics his own happy ending and expects to live well with himself? Such poultry.

Absolutely drivel." Said the rougher voice. 404 was entirely confused,EXE tried to get out of the Bathroom, however it was too big. So it did the one thing it knew to do.

\*\*CRASH\*\*

It came barreling through and smashing into the bed.

"HEY!!" 404 shouted

"Stupid spider." Said the rough voice

"Hes not stupid! He's adorable and a precious big bean!" Said the kinder voice

"THATS ENOUGH OUT OF BOTH OF YOU!" shouted the Architect as his head once again spun around and stopped on yet another face.

"Apologies for the intrusion young William, but we need to talk." The Architect said.

"You've got to he kidding." 404 said

"Oh and where are my manners, this is Rom, the roughen of the three of us and the other is Com. Sweet one he is. You already know who I am though." The Architect said

"Yet I don't got a damn clue what you want or what your doing in my house." 404 asked with annoyance in his voice

"Your house? You mean the one you made with my Code? Every step of the way you've used my property in order to give you an edge. Either over opponents or obstacles you were too idiotic to solve yourself.

There is no "your" here, just \*\*mine\*\*." The Architect said as he looked around. 404 folded his arms.

"...What the hell do you want?" 404 asked again

"It's time for you to payback the lifelong debt you owe to me.

The monster attacked my dear Nexus and \*\*YOU\*\* were the reason for that. Because of you, he got the conduit of Balance and ruined everything for all of us, Edenfolks included.

You've ruined the lives of countless people and you think you can just walk away?" The Architect said shaking his head.

"Not happening, you'll be assisting me and stopping Faker for good, now come along." The Architect said turning around.

"I'm not going anywhere, I'm finally close back to my family and that's all I could ask for." 404 said with a stern voice.

"Huh? You honestly believe all of this? These mere fragments of a byproduct of coincidence will remain after your gone?" The Architect said, EXE jumped up onto 404's bed and curled up sleeping.

"What the hell do you mean when I'm gone?" 404 asked

"Oh? You don't know? Bio-Conduits don't get another chance in the next cycle. Infact your completely dropped from the cycle if rebirth and death entirely. You'll be left behind while everything moves on without you." The Architect said, 404 couldn't believe what he was hearing.

"Now, I don't very much like you possessing Nullvoid Code, but I will overlook it if you do something for me.

That monster Faker or whatever its name is, it tried to harm my dear Nexus. I want \*\*you\*\* to repay me for bringing you back by bringing him back to me.

In exchange, not only will I deliver you your conduit back, but I will release the rest that monster has taken before this.

Refuse and I have no problem with letting you just simply pass away into nothingness." The Architect said as she stood tall with EXE looking between them. 404 fell backwards aginst the wall. His memories of Faker resurfacing once again.

"You've let failure consume you. Let victories mold you into a lesser version of yourself.

Peace has been your true enemy this whole time." The Architect said. 404 just stood there unsure how to respond.

"I will be leaving EXE with you, you have precisely 48 hours to make your decision." The Architect said

"Awwwwww we're leaving? But hes such a cutie." Said Com

"WOULD YOU PIPE DOWN!? WE'RE TRYING TO HE SERIOUS!" Rom

"Goodbye William." The Architect said as he turned into pixels disappearing. 404 was standing completely dumbfounded.

404 was sitting on the floor as EXE was still on his bed.

"So thats it then, go after Faker, being him back and its all over...right?

Or am I kidding myself. Is there ever a chance I'll be done?...not likley." 404 said as he got up and looked towards his closet. He took a deep breath as he then got a knock in the door.

"What is it?" 404 asked

"We're heading back to Reality 6, get ready cause we're going." Alpha said on the otherside of the door.

"...Your going to have to go without me. I got some last minute business to take care of." 404 said

"What? But we got everyone back together again, we're togther! After all these years why is it that you always are leaving me behind!" Alpha said as he banged on the door, everyone from the living room looked over down the hall.

"...I'm sorry, but sometimes. You need to be strong enough to make the hard decisions." 404 said as he then went to his closet, he hesitated before grabbing his outfit and putting it on. EXE got off the bed and looked at 404.

"I have faith in you all to get it done without me." 404 said as he and EXE teleported away, Alpha barged in only to see the room empty.

404 and EXE teleported to the beach far away. 404 took a knee to the beach and closed his eyes.

"Going off on your own?" Said a voice behind him, 404 turned around as EXE began to bury itself in the sand. Infected was walking over to him.

"No, you've done enough for me. This is my job." 404 said

"Hey, you wouldn't have no score to settle if it wasn't for me bringing your blue ass back baby blue.

Heheh, this is it. Isnt it? One final push. All the cards are about to he put on the deck." Infected said

"...yea." 404 said

"So then let's do what we should have done from beginning, work togther to finish this!" Infected said extending his hand. 404 looked at it and grabbed it.

"Wouldn't have it any other way brother." 404 said as he and Infected looked to EXE and both were teleported back to the Hub where not only the Prime Mover was at, but also the Architect and the Nexus.

"Glad you could join us." The Architect said

"Indeed." Said the Prime Mover

"Still crazy that they understand English." 404 said to Infected

"Actually, no one speaks English outside of our reality. Nor do I think a actual language. I think our conduits just make it easier for us to understand them or maybe translate it for us." Infected said, 404 shrugged and then looked back at them.

"Ok, where is Faker?" 404 asked

"Him and 3 other entities are on their way to the book of truth. I reckon they seek the Being Slayer. However I doubt the inhabitants of the Book will let them walk so easily. Cut them off and bring back to me." The Architect said

"You ready?" Infected asked

"Always." 404 said

Alpha just told everyone the news, Chara was sitting at the table frustrated while everyone else was slightly conflicted. Except for Omni.

"I can't believe he left. Right at the exact moment we need him." Delios said

"Warlock" Warlock said

"William has always been a man who knows what he's doing. He has his way, we have ours. Lets make it clear, we'll follow the same plan we had before.

We fight aginst BioTale and reclaim the conduit of will." Omni said

"Who put you in charge?" Alpha asked

"Unless you have a more convoluted and fancy version of what I just said, I suggest shutting up." Omni said, Alpha scoffed. Frisk and Delios looked at one another.

"Warlock and Samson will remain here, just incase some of those fools decide to attack this place. You got it Peter?" Omni said

"Amber" Warlock nodded in response.

"Good, then we have 5 minutes to get ready." Omni said as he walked outside to the backyard. Alpha looked at Omni with a annoyed stare. Frisk then walked to him and put a hand on Alpha's shoulder.

"Better fix whatever it is between you two first, before we go. Nothing is worse than working with someone you have beef with." Frisk said as he walked over to comfort Chara. Alpha looked at him and then walked outside to meet with Omni who was standing in the middle of the backyard.

"No Jacob? Did he go with William?" Alpha asked

"Seems like it." Omni said as he picked up a container of strawberry milk, it wasn't finished.

"...Hey, I want to make something clear." Alpha said

"If your going to annoy me with your drivel than you can forget." Omni said as he put the milk in his pocket.

"No, I've learned a lot about you. How you've changed now, after all these years." Alpha said, Omni glanced behind him and looked to Alpha who was standing straight and confident.

"I don't want to fight anymore, but I also won't be taking anymore crap from you. I want us to be on equal footing. We'll let the battlefield decide who's the lesser of the two of us." Alpha said

"...That has to be the single most brightest thing I've ever heard your filthy mouth utter." Omni said as he turned to Alpha. The two walked to each and stood infront of each other.

"Lets start over then. Especially when so much is at cost." Omni said as the two shook hands.

"I won't be taking it easy on you though." Alpha said

"I'd be disappointed if you did." Omni replied.
