Tier Story Chapter 2 : The Anarchy and The Carp

Act 1

Two years after the death of Mael and Darth No, the team still didn't erase the traumatism caused by Darth death. But while Misquif was naturally fast to forget the pain and Birb was mature enough to support it, 404 Tier and Ass weren't even able to sleep, considering it was their fault if Darth, their friend, their family, died.

One day, as they both went to the same beach to think about their life and choices, they ended up seeing each other. Embarrassed, they were going to ignore each other but…

"What's up bitches ? Still crying about something that happened years ago ? If you stop now I'll buy you each an ice cream, deal ?"

It was Elysia, the best fake detective in the world, who happened to run into them and didn't resist the urge to bother them. But Tier felt like he needed a distraction :

"Cassis for me and vanilla for Ass, and we'll follow you. Deal ?" Said Tier, copying Elysia.

"Oh, that's funny, are you sure Ass wouldn't prefer chocolate ?"

"Shut up" replied Ass as Elysia was buying their ice creams, taking a chocolate one for himself. After he came back, they both went sit on the beach, and watched the sun lowering as they started talking :

"You know, even if I'm joking about that, I too am sad about Darth death, and I think I can imagine how you guys feel inside" started Elysia.

"Oh really ? That's not another of your bad jokes ?" Ironically asked Tier.

"Nope, if it was, I would probably have put some spices into your ice cream, you fake 404" replied Elysia.

"True, I'm surprised you didn't do so" said Ass.

"But I did prank you, Ass-kun" added Elysia with a grin.

"Don't call me Ass-kun you faking ba- hey wait what do you mean when you say you pranked me !?"

"What you currently eat is actually not vanilla but white chocolate ice cream" answered Elysia before he started to laugh.

"YOU FUCKER, I SAID ALREADY SAID YOU AT LEAST TEN TIMES BEFORE I DIDN'T LIKE CHOCOLATE YOU BASTARD !" Screamed Ass.

"Heh, you didn't seem to dislike it, tho" Chuckled Elysia.

But as soon as he finished his sentence, a fishing hook took off his ice cream. Tier and Ass didn't even have the time to realize what was happening before theirs got taken away too.

"Hey pals, sorry to bother you but I need these for a really important mission : filling my stomach" a voice said from above.

As they looked up, they soon recognised the robber, as his face was well-known through the entirety of the ten realities. It was Titling Carp, the one who once pranked Shad by drawing a mustache on his face, and then succeeded to run away and escape without getting killed.

"Well it was cool to talk with you but I just remembered I have another multiverse to explore today, goodbye" said Carp before he flew away from them.

"Hey I can't do ice cream jokes without ice cream, so come back and return these ! Said Elysia as Tier, Ass and himself started chasing after the thief.

Act 2

They followed Carp for 10 minutes at their full speed, and Tier started to think he was mocking them. Suddenly, they saw a portal in the horizon :

"Follow me if you can, nerds" chuckled Carp as in one jump he cutted the distance between him and the portals.

Some seconds later, the three friends followed him and immediately started to feel that something was off :

"This portal doesn't move to another multiverse, nor another reality…" said Ass.

"He moved us to another orb" completed Tier.

As they said that, Elysia came back to him as he saw Carp ahead of him.

"Hey you bastard, how did you do that !? WE'RE IN THE FRICKING BAD STORYWORLD ! AND GIVE US BACK OUR ICE CREAM ! He screamed.

"Oh I didn't really open this portal, it was only there and I thought I would show it to interesting guys, like you for exemple" replied Carp.

"Also don't ask for your ice creams, I already ate these. Also it looks like the portal closed behind us, so I think we should just split to try to find an escape. Byye !" He added as he then evaporated in front of them.

"This guy is such a nutjob" said Ass. "Also did I dream or he just basically said we're all, including himself, trapped in another world without knowing anything about it ?"

They didn't have any time to think about it as bones suddenly popped out between them, Tier and Ass barely dodging them while Elysia simply summoned a giant turtle to block them. Then, gaster blasters started to pop up as well as fire balls, spears and lightning, shooting everywhere around. Everyone ran below the turtle to not get blown up. As they looked up, they could see the people who were attacking them : a bunch of random Au's inhabitants : Sanses, Asgores, Toriels, Mettatons, Undynes, Papyruses, and even some Alphys and Asriels.

"At least it can't get worse" said T404.

"Don't say it, shut up!" Warned Elysia.

But too late, some gasters and even an Epic!Sans joined the group : gaster's hands started to charge their power to blow up the turtle, along with one of Epic's nuclear blasters.

"Sorry, I messed it up" apologized Tier.

"Don't worry, it would've happened anyway with our luck" said Ass as the blasters all shooted at the same time.

But as they were already thinking of their testament, red strings pulled them just in time for them to not get caught in this explosion.

After this, two dark blasters shot at the Aus, killing half of them. They looked at the person who saved them and almost choked in etonnement :

"Follow me if you want to live" said Error!Sans as he opened a portal and passed through. Tier followed him, along with Ass and Elysia.

Act 3

"So I'll ask you since nobody asked yet, WHAT THE FUCK IS HAP-

But Elysia couldn't finish before threads closed his mouth.

"HUMPH!"

He tried to rip them off, but they were too solid.

"The walls have ears too, so stop yelling if you don't want us to die" said Error before adding : "I'll explain everything to you guys when we'll arrive at the base".

Some minutes later, the group arrived at Error's GQ. Tier looked around and saw a group of sanses, charas, and frisks reunited in the hall.

"Ok, here are all my allies : Nightmare, the murder time trio, Abyss, Mecha, Blueberry, Dream, and twenty Frisks and Charas. With me and you guys, that's everyone" said Error.

"Wait a minute, something's not right… aren't all those guys supposed to be like, the worst enemies ? Also I feel traces of the same energy on you that was in the portal who led us in this crappy orb… I think we deserve some explanations" said Tier.

"You're right… so let's sit down before I explain the whole story to you guys" replied Error.

They all sat on the floor as Error started to talk :

"Everything started with the fight between King!Multiverse and Ten, and the miraculous win of the fake monarch. But during the battle, Delios and Delta, the two closest persons to the king, both died. After it, KM abandoned the throne, and then there was nothing but panic in the multiverse. So much so that, with the arrival of this Unnameable guy in our reality, half of the inhabitants of the reality died along with almost every powerful fighter. The only ones left were Ink, me and 404. But suddenly, KM came back. He took Ink under him and fought me and 404. Even if we were stronger, we were too tired to win, and after he gave me his last code, allowing me to run away… 404 was killed by KM, who took back his position and instilled a total dictature. Even after resting, I wasn't able to absorb 404's code. But without it, we weren't able to take over KM castle, so instead of absorbing it I used it to open a portal to a place where strong beings lived, hoping they would help us to defeat the tyrant, or at least help us training to do so" Finished Error.

He then added :

"And here you go. You three are the ones that will help us to finally defeat the dictator and free Anarchy!Alphatale".

Act 4

\*In King!Multiverse castle\*

"Liar !"

"Traitor !"

"You said you would save Alphatale ! "

"You said you would save the multiverse ! "

"King why… why… Why did you let us die ?"

Delios voice finished it :

"Why did you abandon us, Oreo pal ?

KM woke up in his room, covered in sweat and screaming.

"Are you ok sir ?" Asked Ink, who went to see if something happened.

"WHAT DO YOU DO HE… ho, it's just you Ink. I'm ok so you can head back now" said KM as Ink was getting back to his post.

"Now the crown is all that's left to me, and I do not intend to let it be taken too" he said, alone in his room.

\*back in Error's GQ\*

After taking a short moment to analyze the situation, Tier started speaking, wisely choosing his words :

"I can see why you did this, and we're not upset that we're now blocked here…"

"Me, I'm upset !" contradicted Elysia before Ass stomped on his feat, whispering him to shut up.

Tier started talking again after a short break :

"Like I said, we're not upset and would be honored to help you. But the main problem is that we're just too weak"

"What's important is not your strength but the fact that you guys are a totally new thing ! The enemy already captured or killed every other dangerous Au beside us. Plus, they combined the power of the main Frisk along with Core!frisk code to create a resurrection engine, and it takes back the defeated foes after 24 hours, so taking them out one by one is expected. And they already adapted to resist Sanses and humans, so you're the only hope left" replied Error.

"But we're not even strong enough to destroy a whole Au, even together !" Said Elysia.

"Yes but we need codeless beings like you to free humans from the resurrection engine… but as we are now, we won't be able to pass KM, Ink and the other forces… FUCK, HOW CAN WE DO !" Exploded Error.

Everyone in the GQ were starting to feel their hopes and dreams fading away, until :

"Maybe I can help you pals ? I may not look like it but I'm pretty strong, hehe" said Tilting Carp, who appeared behind them without anybody noticing him.

"YOU ?!" Screamed Tier, Elysia and Ass at the same time.

"Yup, me, the good old fish of the Userverse" answered Carp. "So what's the plan, Error-kun ?"

Act 5

"FUCK YOU ALREADY !" cracked Error before remembering he needed to stay calm for his comrades to keep hoping. He corrected himself :

"I mean, here's the plan : first, the resurrection engine is hidden in the castle basement, secured by Ink. So during the battle, I'll go there to fight Ink, and one of the newcomers will use this distraction to free the human and destroy the engine… Who is the most talentuous out of you guys to destroy stuff and run, without necessarily being a good fighter ?"

"I think it's me" answered Ass. "I'm not a really good fighter anyway"

"Great !" Said Error "And you are…

"Oh yeah, we should've started with this. Here are Elysia and 404 Tier, that we call Tier most of the time. The other weirdo is Tilting Carp, but let's call him Carp because he does not deserve his full name to be said" answered Ass. "Also, I'm Ass, nice to meet you"

Maybe it wasn't intentional, but Ass's last sentence made everyone in the hall laugh. Like this, they felt less in despair from the fight they were going to lead. Error succeeded to quiet them, though not without laughing for a short moment too.

"Ok, thank you… Ass. So to come back to the main topic : when we'll fight Ink and free the human, you guys will fight the royal army. But the problem is KM himself : I absolutely need to fight Ink for the success of this operation but beside me, we have nobody to stop him from just wiping the floor with everyone".

"I can" said Carp "Believe me, he's not gonna get rid of me before a loooong time".

"Okay, I guess we can trust you on this since you were able to enter our base without getting noticed. So, for the army, it's divided into two legions : the first is the Au division, which contains every random au's fighters who work under KM, and is led by Epic!sans. The second is the Gaster division, led by Perfect!gaster. Even if they are not as numerous as the Au squad, they're as dangerous if not more, and some of them have the ability to stop the humans from using the reset. Sincerely, I don't know how to deal with them".

"I'll do it, I'm a pro at stopping the opponents from using tricky abilities" said Tier. "Since reset may not work, I'll take the sanses with me instead, and Elysia will go with the humans to battle the Au division".

"Good idea, I knew you weren't as terrible as you said, pal. Now let's go and-

"Sorry, but there's something I need to do, or rather to say, before the war"

Interrupted Tier before Error could finish.

Last time he and his friends were in this kind of confrontation, he couldn't help but see Darth no die, powerless.

"I'd like to make a speech, are you ok with that Error ?" Asked Tier.

"Um yeah, sure" replied Error.

"Ok, so… Everyone here, thank you for gathering here. First, I'd like to say that I truly admire you all" started Tier.

Yes, he won't let anybody die this time. He promised it to himself before talking again :

"You all had to stand against this horrible king, and even when all the people you loved were separated from you, you continued to stand up. I've always told myself that even if I was just a fake 404, I could at least be a true hero, but I failed. But you did not, and persevered in the defeat. Now, we will finally take down the tyrant, and get back what he took to you guys. To Elysia, to Ass, to Error, and to every other person here : LET'S WIN TOGETHER.

\*some hours later\*

KM was thinking when an explosion resonated close to the castle :

"So the rats are finally getting out, uh ?"

Act 6

Barely seconds after starting the attack, Error used his blaster to burst everything between him and the basement of the castle, creating a hole where he jumped, pulling Ass with him in the hole. In the meantime, Tier used his Complaint power to destabilize the enemies, and the murder time trio used this occasion to create giant lines of bones, separating the Gaster's and Au's divisions : Tier and the sanses were now in the castle, locked in the castle with the Gasters, when Elysia and the humans were outside with the humans.

"Wadda helliz happenin ?!" Screamed Epic.

"These little bugs seem to be well-prepared, king" stated Perfect!Gaster.

"Maybe they are, but they forgot something. Now that error went to battle Ink, nobody can protect them FROM ME !" Said KM as dozens of blasters appeared besides him, ready to fire on the opponents.

But suddenly, he got grabbed by a fishing hook and threw it on the castle rooftop.

"WHO DARED ?!" Shouted KM

"The good lil me" answered Carp after jumping on the rooftop, landing on his fingers upside-down. "And don't dare to ignore me, because it will ruin the plot, and I'll report it to our great king Alphasaith"

"The fuck are you saying ?" Asked KM. "You're a Jehovah's witness or something ?"

\*In the basement\*

Error landed on the floor and caught Ass before putting him on his legs. They then looked around them, seeing the resurrection engine standing in the middle of the continent-sized, with the original Frisk… And Ink, standing ahead of this, along with Fresh!sans.

"Let's start the war".

Nobody knew who said this, but it resonated in the whole Au as the battle started.

Act 7 - Elysia team vs Epic team

"Whoops, seems I got the least interesting bruh" said Epic while he used his nuclear buster to shoot toward Elysia.

This one didn't reply and summoned a bird that grabbed him and started to fly, avoiding the blaster by some centimeters. He knew he wasn't anywhere close in strength to Error and Carp, neither he had unreal haxs like Tier, and that was why Epic didn't take him seriously.  But this time, he intended to really do something, instead of just passing by before running away : he summoned hundreds of burning fairies and made them attack Epic, who dodged most of them and used his hands to absorb the rest. But in the meantime, Elysia already made an elephant appear above him and stomp on him. Epic simply used his magic eye to resurrect himself while the aus started throwing lances, fire blasters and launching lightnings above them toward Elysia. Fortunately, the Frisks and Charas with him used themselves as meat shields, and simply used the reset to come back.

<<Great, we have the advantage, I just need to get rid of this annoying eye>> thought Elysia.

But it was before Epic simply ripped out the soul of a random Chara and absorbed its energy with his hands, preventing the Chare from using reset again and killing him instantly.

"You brahs really thought we wouldn't have prepared a parade to reset ? Cmon bruh, don't be stoopid" mocked Epic.

"YOU BASTARD !" Shooted Elysia as he summoned centipedes around his arms to attack Epic, while he was punching him at the same time.

He didn't have any other choice than engaging him into a close fight : if not, Epic would kill all the humans while he would end up surrounded and killed by the aus.

"Close fight ? Am gunna like it, bruh" Said Epic, getting two rubber chickens out of his pockets.

Even with something like this he was still able to easily compete with Elysia.

"Seems like you lil bruh is really gonna have a BAD BRUH TIME" said Epic as he summoned blasters around them before teleporting away.

"Well fuck" said Elysia as the blasters fired, destroying everything in the kilometer around him.

Act 8 - Error and Ass vs Ink and Fresh

Error directly wrapped the two opponents into his strings and fired his blasters on them, but Ink used his brush to create an ink wall to protect Fresh and himself. Ass tried to use this distraction to get to the R engine but failed as Fresh throwed some explosive junk close to him, the shockwave sending Ass away. Ass got up and used his Ignis to create a shockwave himself, sending Fresh flying back as he was approaching.

On his side, Error got knocked out when Ink hitted his head with his brush :

"See ya in the next life, glitchy" said Ink while crushing Error, still on the floor, with his brush.

But Error had disappeared and it was only black threads on the floor :

"Illusion threads, the heritage of 404" explained Error as the threads turned white.

"The same 404… YOU KILLED ! And here's another present from him !" Screamed Error as he launched Ink into the air, as light started to cover his fingers :

"GLITCH RAY !"

The attack touched Ink right into the chest, as his code instantly started to get corrupted. Error then tried to use another glitch ray on him, but Fresh pushed Ink out of the way as the attack scratched his leg, and it was already enough for his body to start to decompose.

"Give up and run away Ink, or you're just gonna end up the same way that this freak" warned Error.

But Ink simply started to laugh :

"Ahaha, ahaha, Pffwahaha ! Oh glitchy, you're so funny ! But what makes you think Fresh is dead ?"

Something then got out of Fresh's decomposing body : the parasite that was controlling Fresh.

"Let's go for the show" said Ink as he grabbed the parasite and pushed it in his right socket.

"NO !" Screamed Error and Ass, knowing too well it was too late to stop what was happening.

"And here come the show, Glitchy" said Fresh!Ink as Error started sweating and Ass thought about his life choices.

Act 9 Tilting Carp vs King!Multiverse

"You little rascal !" shooted KM before trying to cut Carp in half with his scythe, only for him to dodge it easily and even come closer.

"Come on guy calm down, it's not like we're attacking your house. Oh wait we actually are, lmao" chuckled Carp as he sucker punched KM, before grabbing him halfway with the hook of his fishing rod and sending him flying to the other side of the roof.

But before the impact, he opened a wormhole and passed through. He landed right behind Carp and tried to hit him and wrap him into chains but Carp spinned his fishing rod above himself with one hand, breaking the chains. And with the other, without even turning to KM, he blocked the hit and sent KM to the floor with an aikido move. KM got up by rolling on himself and jumped back to put distance between him and his foe, to take his breath for a moment :

"Damn it, no matter how elaborate my attacks are, it doesn't even scratch you ! By behind, with precision, simultaneous attacks, none of this works ! In this case… in this case…"

"What in this case ?" Asked Carp with a curious smile.

"In this case, I just have to force my way until you die !" Said KM.

He recreated his scythe, summoned chains around them, and made a blaster appear behind him. This one seemed to be uncomparably stronger than the last ones.

"Uh oh, time to go, sorry" said Carp as he tried to get off the rooftop so he could have more space to dodge. Unfortunately, he got stopped by an invisible barrier.

"Fool ! You already forgot that it was MY castle !? Nobody get out of this rooftop without my agreement, now die !" He said as he dropped his scythe on a surprised Carp at full speed.

Carp blocked it with his rod, but couldn't avoid getting wrapped by the chains.

"You were pretty good, but now it's time to die" said KM before he got away with a wormhole. "Eat this ! MAINFRAME CANNON !"

He fired his blaster.

"Got you" he shooted, before hearing a voice from his left :

"I don't think so" corrected Carp.

He was a bit injured, but it seemed like he avoided the biggest part of the attack :

"And now ? What are you gonna do, "king" ? He mocked.

But he quickly changed his expression as he saw KM powering up and sending devastating shockwaves around them, creating breaches in the Au by pure power. Carp then discovered what was happening : he was absorbing… the power of the Mainframe.

"Is this enough for you, little bug ?" asked Dictator!Multiverse

Act 10 - Tier team vs Perfect!Gaster team

Tier immediately started by using his Power Scaling ability, preventing the gasters from using any tricky ability he didn't know. He knew it was a good decision when he saw the gasters looking at him in astonishment, probably surprised by the fact they couldn't use their gaster haxs to kill them on the spot. Nightmare used this occasion to hit all the gasters around him with his tentacles, and Tier profited of the occasion to use Complaint and create a shockwave around, hoping to knock out the most gasters possible. But as they already saw him using it, they were prepared for it and none of them fell on the ground. Perfect!gaster suddenly blitzed toward him and, without the intervention of Abyss who created a crystal chain to block the attack.

"Don't be so distracted ! This guy is the third strongest here, one mistake and you're down !" sais Mecha.

"Kay" answered Tier, before almost getting decapitated by another attack of P!Gaster.

"Ready or not, you won't be able to run away from perfection forever !" Said P!Gaster as he impaled Horror with his arm and released an energy explosion inside him, disintegrating him.

Tier then understood that, even if the sanses were currently getting the advantage on the weakened gasters, it wouldn't last if he didn't get rid of P!gaster :

"Hey, you dare to say you are perfect ? All you are is a bald cheap fucking knock-off of a dragon ball z character, you fricking leaderprice Krillin !" he shouted toward P!Gaster before running away, climbing the stairs of the castle.

P!Gaster was the commandant of the gaster division and the former royal scientist of Epictale, so it wasn't an exaggeration to say he was pretty smart. But even for him, it was too much of an insult :

"You bastard ! When I'll get you, be sure that you'll be my laboratory rat forever, you pitiful creature !" shouted P!gaster as he started chasing him.

Tier plan worked out, now he just had to win against this foe multiple times stronger that he was. He hid inside a kitchen, thinking about his plan.

Act 11 - Epic vs Elysia part 2

"A turtle, again ? Bruh, you're really not original" said Epic, as he saw the blown body of a giant turtle, at the exact place where Elysia was before.

The true problem was where did Elysia get ? He had the answer when a giant crow passed above him, Elysia jumping off it and stomping on Epic's head. Epic simply used his magic eye to resurrect again :

"Even I am not able to kill myself and you think you can ? You filthy bruh, only dad can take my eye off and kill me" said Epic as he sent Elysia flying away with a swing of his rubber chicken.

After it, when Elysia was still in the air, he started accumulating energy in his hands :

"KA ME HA ME BRUUUUUH !" he screamed as he unleashed all the energy on Elysia, killing him instantly.

It was what Epic thought, until he saw black goo falling on the ground, and Elysia appear right behind him :

"WUT ?!"

"It was a shifter, a creature that I saw in a random Au as we were traveling here" explained Elysia before following : "I wasn't sure if I was able to summon it but it seems like I can. And I can also do THIS !"

Elysia made another shifter appear and turned him into a copy of perfect!gaster. The shifter inserted his hand into Epic's socket and Epic immediately killed him with a nuclear blaster, but too late : his magic eye already got ripped off.

"YOU LIL BRAHSTARD !" Shouted Epic as he summoned another dozen of nuclear blasters.

As he fired them, Elysia summoned hundreds of fire fairies and made them fly toward Epic at a speed of mach 10, turning them into litteral fire cometes. The clash between the two attacks created big explosions all around them, as they were still summoning new fairies and blasters.

After some hours, Epic finally fell on his knees. All the Aus were killed by the explosions, but the humans simply used their determination to come back. It was the win of the rebels.

"Whoah, it was really incredible, it seems like I fell on the good bruh after all" said Epic as he started to turn into dust. "But too bad, your pal fell on mah dad, and just with one look at them the gap is obvious, so you should really get there fast before it's too late".

"Nah, we're too tired for this, we would only be a deadweight. Plus, I really don't think Tier needs help, believe me on this" said Elysia as Epic totally turned into dust.

Act 12 - Tier vs Perfect!Gaster

For two hours, Tier hid and ran everywhere in the castle, avoiding the death at least three times, every hit that P!Gaster missed destroying another bit of the castle :

"Stop running away, new test subject ! I don't know what kind of strange creature you are, but I absolutely need to study your weird body !"

As he said this, he tried another kick, but Tier redirected it toward a wall, creating a hole inside it.

<<Great, everything went according to the plan, now I just need to pass this breach>> he thought, before another kick sent him through the hole.

He landed on the floor, coughing blood but smiling, as he was finally at the place he wanted to be.

"Now, it's time for you to sleep" said P!Gaster.

But before he could do anything, Dust and Killer came in front of him and stabbed him with their knives :

"What's the problem, I thought you were perfect ?" Chuckled Killer, P!gaster clenching his teeth.

"That was for Horror" said Dust as him and Killer were putting their head in front of P!gaster's.

P!Gaster used his hands to grab their heads and-

"Now, kiddo !" Screamed Killer.

P!Gaster's hands were close enough to his face now, meaning Tier was finally able to start the final phase of his plan. Tier then used his last ability : burn-out. With this, his strength augmented so much that he was, for a short moment, able to overwhelm P!Gaster in power. He used this moment to grab P!Gaster hands and put it in his eyes.

"No, HOW DARE YOU !" screamed P!Gaster as he used a shockwave to send Tier, Dust and Killer to the floor.

But too late, now that he destroyed his eyes himself, it was only a question of seconds before he turn back into a blind Epic!Gaster.

"You shrimps ! I may have lost my power, but now that you're both down and that all the other sanses are occupied, I'm at least going to get rid of you three" said Epic!Gaster before getting cut by Horror's axe.

"WHAT ?!" He screamed.

"Hehe, everything went like the kid said" chuckled Horror, as Epic!Gaster looked at him, half-dead and in total incomprehension.

"Let me explain" said Tier before proceeding to expose his plan, more for the readers than for Epic!Gaster :

"At the start, when you "killed" horror, he actually used his regeneration to survive, but acted like he was dead so he could kill you later. But for this, we needed to dispose of your magic eyes first. So when I was running through the castle to escape you and avoid your hits, I was actually using the destruction caused to create a new way toward our start point, such as Killer and Dust were able to attack you by surprise. To get rid of them, you putted your hands close to your heads, and then your eyes. I just had to use all my power to force them into your eyes to destroy them, and let horror finish you" Tier concluded, still laying on the floor.

"Brilliant" whispered Epic!Gaster as he turned into dust.

A moment later, all the gasters had been captured or killed by the other sanses, and their side seemed like nobody got hurt.

"Excellent, now we just have to help the others and finish this raid… but after a short break" said Tier as he fainted and started to take a nap to restore his power.

Act 13 - Error and Ass vs Fresh!Ink

They didn't even have the time to react that Fresh!Ink, with one movement of his multicolor brush, sent Ass flying away, almost killing him. As Ass fainted, Error decided to use all his power to finish Fresh!Ink the fastest possible and then destroy the resurrection engine : if he wasn't successful, all his collaborators… no, all his friends sacrifices and efforts would be meaningless. He first used his illusion strings so Fresh!Ink wasn't able to localise him, before spawning bones all around him so he wasn't able to escape. After it, rather than directly using his glitch ray, he fired hundreds of blasters on Fresh!Ink and, when his opponent was occupied to block with his brush, Error used all his strings at once to totally wrap him.

"Uh oh, problem" said Fresh!Ink before Error started to charge a glitch ray on all his fingers, while Ass was shaking on the floor.

But before he shot, Fresh!Ink created a giant pink cloud with multicolor confettis around him, preventing Error from properly aiming at him. Still, one of the rays touched his shoulder and as he was paralyzed by the pain, Error started a combo of hits on him, with Ass shaking faster and faster. Stronger, faster, harder, more precise, Error couldn't let Fresh!Ink have a break, even for a millisecond : he felt he was now stronger than he was himself. But as Fresh!ink durability was almost totally drained, he disappeared with a "poof", and reappeared behind Error.

"Wha-" but Error couldn't finish as Fresh!Ink hitted him full strength with his brush. Ass was now not simply shaking, but vibrating.

"Hehe, what does it do to be the one brah getting rekt glitchy ?" chuckled Fresh!Ink as he started combo-ing Error.

Ass was now literally phasing through the space, and his figure was indiscernible.

"The dead say nothing… oh, but you just said it… nothing !" Joked Fresh!Ink. "Well, enjoy the paradise glitchy".

Before he could finish Error, Ass suddenly stopped phasing and vibrating, and concentrated all the energy he accumulated through this to launch it on Fresh!Ink, who got it right in the face. Inside Ink head, the parasite was totally disintegrated, and Ink himself was sent away and crashed right into the resurrection engine, breaking the system that prevented the human from escaping.

"Take him out " screamed Ass to Error, who used his last bit of strength to get Classic!Frisk out of the machine before its explosion.

Tier "Is Ink dead ?" asked Ass.

"Probably not but let's not waste our strength with him, this world still need him as a guardian and he probably won't be able to move for the next years anyway" answered Error, before adding : "Now, go with the human and join the others to stop the king, I can't get up for now but I'll join you later".

Ass and the human then went fighting the king. In the meantime, Elysia, the sanses and the humans were coming to help Carp too. Only two were not joining, Error and Tier, both unconscious.

Act 14

Carp avoided another hit from Dictator!Multiverse, but he was starting to run out of strength. It made hours since the king transformed and it was clearly not as easy as before. Plus, even if he didn't show it, Carp was still injured from the mainframe cannon from before. Dictator!Multiverse tried to slice him with his scythe and he dodged, but he was really starting to get tired. So tired that he couldn't properly avoid the next hit and got a little scratch on his ear. Dictator!Multiverse charged a new mainframe cannon and Carp avoided it, but the blast of the explosion touched him and he got sent flying away. He crashed against the barrier of the rooftop and finished his course on the ground, unable to move.

"Ugh, I'm ko… but at least I got rid of the main threat, now that you're all tired. Hehe, you can't even maintain your form" said Carp while seeing Dictator!Multiverse turning back into KM.

But then, he noticed that KM seemed good. Too good.

"Wait, how are you still in shape ?" asked Carp, with a surprised expression.

"Well, the advantage of this form is that when it disappears, instead of making me pass out or dying like this butterfly crap 404 used all the time, it fully restores my stamina, power, and heals my injuries. Too bad for you" said KM as he immobilized Carp with his chains.

"Now, I'm simply gonna… END YOUR MISERABLE LIFE !" Shooted KM as he summoned his scythe again.

But suddenly dozens of blasters fired at KM, pushing him some meters away. Some humans used their knives to cut the chains wrapped around Carp, and birds lifted him away, as Elysia catched him and made an injured human escape with him : reinforcements had arrived.

"Even the fish fucker did his job and occupied the king, so let's do it on our side too, and take this dictator down for good !" Said Elysia.

"EVERYBODY WITH ME! LET'S TAKE BACK THE MULTIVERSE !" shouted Ass.

They all ran toward the king, ready to take back what was theirs.

Act 15

\*30 minutes laters\*

\*pant\* \*pant\* "Well you guys did great, but it's the end now" said KM as all his opponents were laying on the ground.

They all fought very well, but at the end they were already too tired to have a chance against KM. They lost.

"Now, I give you a last chance : pronounce the serment or die" warned KM.

But they all knew that if they did this they would spend the rest of their lives living as KM dogs. None of them said anything.

"I guess you just all want to die. Fine, I'll grant your wish" said KM as he charged a mainframe cannon to wipe them all at once.

\*back with Error\*

"Cmon… I can't… let everybody down…" groaned Error, struggling to put one foot after the other.

He was trying with all his might, but he simply reached his limit. As he arrived at the stairs leading to the rooftop, his legs abandoned him and he fell on the floor. Was this pathetic performance really his limit ?

As he thought of it, he saw another person coming close to him. Was it a remaining soldier of the dictator that came here to get revenge by killing him ?

But as the person came closer, he saw it was none other than Tier, who seemed to be in a state as bad as his. Tier struggled trying to rise the stairs, but he couldn't even step on the second march before falling back on the floor.

"Ouch, it hurt so damn much… oh it's you Error ?" Asked Tier.

"Oh no, I'm just his twin, 'black-grumpy-glitching-broken-skeleton'. Of course it's me Error !" groaned Error.

"Hehe, here is the legendary Error's bad temper, I thought I'd leave without seeing it" mocked Tier. "I guess you tried to join them too, huh ? Too bad we're both in this pole  state. Honestly at first I didn't really want to fight a powerful multiversal tyrant, but now I'm ashamed that I can't do anything".

"Yeah, it's a shame" agreed Error. "We don't even have forms coming from nowhere to help us like 404 do".

As Error said that, Tier eyes opened wider, as the A#$#$#$ button appeared in front of him :

"Maybe we have".

Act 16

Tier pressed the button and during a short moment, he turned into T!Butterfly404. But he soon came back at his original form and cursed :

"Damn it ! I'm not even strong enough to use this shit ! I was useless to save Darth and I'm useless now too !" Mourned Tier as tears came out.

All these efforts, this hardwork and these battles, all for nothing.

"Hey, I think I got an idea" said Error suddenly.

"What ? What is it ?" asked Tier

"You know, my code is pretty similar to a 404's, which allows us to merge together. You must know it, right ?"

"Yeah, but I already said I wasn't a real 404".

Tier was pretty bothered by Error attitude, not knowing what he wanted to say. But after some seconds, he finally realized what he planned :

"You mean that when I used the butterfly form, my code changed ?"

"Yeah that's correct, even if the transformation only lasted for seconds, it partially changed your code enough to be compatible with mine" replied Error.

"In this case, let's not wait anymore".

\*On the rooftop\*

Km fired his mainframe cannon at the rebels, who closed their eyes. But as their death wasn't coming, they opened their eyes and saw a creature in front of them blocking the attack with bare hands, the energy of the attack bouncing on the barrier of the rooftop, partially fracturing the barrier.

"Enough evil deeds, fake king. Give up now" said T666.

They all thought it was the end, but KM started to laugh :

"HAHAHA, FOOLS ! YOU THINK THAT IS THE END ? NO, NO, NO ! I DIDN'T DID ALL OF THIS TO GET STOPPED LIKE THIS ! I can't stop before taking my revenge for Delios and Delta, I can't, I can't… AAAAAARGH !" screamed KM in pain, before Malware took control of him, breaking the rest of the barrier with his aura only.

"Hey pals, it's good to see you all. But now it's time to die" said Ruler!Chaos.

Act 17

So it was like that, a serious fight in Alphatale ? Inside of T666, Tier's mind was in shock from the violence of the battle. Happily, at the very start, he wrapped Ruler!Chaos in his threads and teleported them into another multiverse. But what came after was clearly not as good : Ruler!Chaos freed himself and engaged T666 in a hand fight. It was sad but even with his new form, T666 wasn't able to rivalise at all. To make the fight more fair, he used the Burn-out power of Tier, which multiplied his power to a whole other extent.

"So you're still powering up ? That's great because I would have been bothered if it was everything you had" chuckled Ruler!Chaos.

But even with this, he got sent to the other side of the planet where they were, destroying everything and everyone in his way. T666 looked around him to realize that every inhabitant of the Au already got killed.

"You bastard !" Screamed T666 as he summoned a thousand of Complaint blasters, aiming them all at Ruler!Chaos, who just kept his creepy smile on his face.

The aftermaths of the explosion broke the planet into pieces but Ruler!Chaos was still barely scratched.

"Eh, it tickles" said Ruler!Chaos because realizing one of his fingers just got cut.

"Glitch god ray" explicated T666 as he fired another one at ruler chaos, ripping off the whole hand.

"YOU BASTARD ! HOW DARE YOU DO THIS TO THE GREAT MALW-"

But Ruler!Chaos couldn't finish his sentence before T666 wrapped him into his strings and sent him in the sun, before putting all the power of the A###### button that he wasn't able to absorb into the star, augmenting its temperature above the calculable numerable values.

"AARRRGH ! you… BASTARD !" screamed Ruler!Chaos, in pain.

"Still taking me from beyond ?" asked T666 ironically.

Ruler!Chaos had burn marks all over him and he didn't even regenerate his hand, proof that he was in a critical state and very close to coming back to his KM state. But T666 wasn't really in a better state after all the hits he took : the next clash would be the last.

Act 18

"AAAAAARGH ! If that's my last move, I'll make sure… TO KILL YOU BASTARD !" said Ruler!Chaos as he started to charge a mainframe cannon.

But rather than directly firing it on T666, he absorbed it, and his power went so high that galaxies started to collapse around them.

"I'm the one who should say it" replied T666, as he was using Burn-out to absorb all the power of his frustration into his fist.

All of Error's frustration at not having been able to save 404, and not even take his vengeance until here. And all of Tier's to not have been able to save Darth No, in addition to not being able to do anything without help : Darth against the demon, his friends against Mael, the murder time trio against Perfect!Gaster, and even now with Error merging with him.

All of this power was used to create little golden threads that wrapped all around T666's hand. They didn't seem much of a threat, but Ruler!Chaos felt in them a power that was rivalising with the one emitted by the Unnameable. He wasn't able to accept such a thing :

"You bastard… Just die, you bug ! MAINFRAME BREAKER !"

"You die, you goddamn black freak ! GOLDEN CRASH !" said Error as he launched his attack too.

《Error, Error, Error》. The world all around him was crashing, lagging, everything was collapsing on himself and on the universes around. To prevent themselves from getting obliterated, the opponents both teleported to the Au where KM had his castle, without even stopping their fists from clashing with each other for a second. As Ruler!Chaos was starting to take the advantage, he started laughing :

"HAHAHA ! Got you little brats !"

But as he said that, T666 splitted in two, turning back to Error and Tier, with Ruler!Chaos's attack that went just between them. Seeing Tier still had a golden thread on his hand, Error created a blaster below him, not to shoot someone but to be used as a fulcrum to jump toward Ruler!Chaos and drop-punching him.

"No, it can't be ! Why… Deli… Delt… my friends…" weakly said KM, turning back to his regular state.

And it was the last thing Tier saw before fainting.

Act 19

He woke up two days later, with everybody around him. They probably waited this whole time for him to wake up, and Tier would have feel even more honored if he wasn't subject to more important thoughts :

"What happened ?" he asked directly.

"You were in a coma for quite the time, buddy. But don't worry, you actually succeeded in defeating the king. Quite the punch I must say" said Tilting Carp.

"Oh great… wait, that's not the only important thing : is there any victim on our side ?" asked Tier again, feeling his anxiety coming back.

It was the original Frisk who answered :

"Don't worry, there was one human that got killed by Epic, but he was resurrected after the fight".

"Oh that's great. But I thought we would destroy the resurrection engine ?"

"We did" answered Error. "We didn't use the engine, but a part of KM code to resurrect him".

"A what ? How did you even get one ?"

"He… left it to us. Maybe he was feeling remorse for everything he did" replied Error. "Anyway, what matters the most now is that we still have a bit of it left to send you guys back home" said Error as he showed him what remained of KM code. "Your other friends seem to be ready to go now, but maybe you want to wait a few more days ?"

"No thanks" replied Tier. "We have friends waiting for us, and I'm pretty sure tomorrow is the day when Birb cooks his famous chicken wings".

So everybody said goodbye to each other, though not without some joke on Ass's name.

Error opened the portal and the four users all came back to their world, the Userverse.

Act 20 - Epilogue

The first thing Carp did when they came back was running away in a far reality, to not have to repay them their ice creams. Elysia, who was gonna ask for it, got away too, cursing Carp for being such a bastard, while he still wasn't an angel himself. After it, Ass and Tier came back to their home, where Misquif and Birb asked them what happened. After Ass explained the whole story to them, they bursted out in laughter. Tier didn't know if it was because of how Carp tricked them or just because they thought their story was bullshit made just to explain their absence, but he didn't care. He just wanted to eat the chicken wings Birb was gonna cook, along with his friends. He finally understood : even if Darth No was dead, he didn't lose everything that day, and he still had many things to protect. His friends who always helped him, this wonderful world that gave him constant adventures, some he hated but also many he loved, and also all the people that he would meet in the future. He felt that now would be the time they would face their biggest adventures and smiled, defying the Userverse, the Books, the Eden and everything else existing as Birb was coming with a plate full of chicken wings.

\*Some time later in Anarchy!Alphatale\*

Ink and Error were once again fighting, as they regularly did since the fall of the king, but this time was different. It seemed like the fight that happened between T666 and Ruler!Chaos shaken the body of the Unnameable, and after coming to verify it, Error and Ink both accidentally absorbed a part of his power.

"Ready for another round, glitchy ?" asked Hollow!Ink.

"Always ready to kick your ass, squid" answered Righteous!Error with a smile.

And they started to fight, once again.

The end
