Have you ever wondered what it means to exist? With all of those infinite realities beyond your world, have you ever felt like your existence doesn't matter? Well...you're right if you did.

Everyone, everything, every alternative reality is nothing but a glitch in the multiverse, there should only be one universe. They are errors that I had originally planned to correct...but that would be the pointless. What's the point of trying to delete every universe if there's an infinite amount of them? I'm just glad I realised that before going on a murder spree.

Who am I to talk though? I am literally a living error, I shouldn't even exist in the physical plane. Somehow though, I do exist.

My name used to be Garic Carlson, but now I go by a different name, a title of sorts.

You may call me...Error Sans.

You know, I actually had a pretty decent life before becoming an error. Back on my original world, I had a steady income, a beautiful fiancé and a nice house with a job I loved. Things were great for me.

I was a computer programmer, I'd fix broken code or get any downed servers up and running again, and I loved every second of it. Some days I hoped that some website would go down just so that I could mess around with its coding. Any game I had I would hack just to mess around with, the odd bit of trolling online but nothing along the lines of griefing or anything that would stop anyone else from enjoying the game of course. Just adding some things or altering something to see what would happen.

My fiancé, Megan, she was the most beautiful woman I had ever saw. She had a steady mix of stern but caring, a brilliant singer and had a pretty good career as a teacher, in a school that paid surprisingly well, considering all the budget cuts in the education system. And to add icing to the beautiful cake, she was a girl gamer! It's safe to say that I had it pretty good back then.

Don't get me wrong, I'm still happy with my life now, I'm just saying I would have preferred it if my life had just gone as originally planned.

One day, as Megan and I were playing Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg on our old Nintendo GameCube, me playing as Bantam and her playing as Rolly, my Samsung Galaxy s3 began to vibrate. Yes, I refuse to get an iPhone, the data storage and battery life suck, so I stick with a more reliable brand.

I answered the incoming call as Megan paused the game. “Hello mister Garic.” A man's voice spoke through.

“Who is this?” I asked politely, having dealt with my fair share of prank calls before, so I knew how to deal with them if this turned out to be one.

“That isn't important right now, you'll find that out soon enough. For now though, I'd like to ask you something.”

I just rolled my eyes and smirked. “Sure, ask away.” I replied with a sarcastic voice.

“Alright, here's my question.” There was a moment of silence, time seeming to freeze around Megan and I. “Do you want to be with your lover for all eternity?”

“Of course I do, I’m going to marry her.” I replied, confused as nothing seemed to move around us, not even outside.

“Do you want power beyond your wildest dreams?”

I didn't answer that one, I was too busy looking around in confusion to listen.

“Do you want the power to protect those close to you and save innocent lives while purging the world of evil?”

Of course I did, who wouldn't want that kind of power, to be able to protect everyone you love and to wipe evil off the face of the earth? That's a dream come true. “Y-Yes.” I answered shakily, Megan grasping my free hand to comfort me.

There was a moment of stillness and silence before the man on the other end finally spoke. “Good...very good.” As he said that he hung up and everything seemed to return to normal.

I looked back to Megan to see if she was alright. Both of us looked to each other in shock at what just happened. “What the hell was that?”

“I...I don't know.” Megan said in a surprised tone. “What was that guy calling about?”

“He...he was asking me if I wanted the power to protect the ones I care about and if I wanted to spend eternity with you.” I just looked to my phone and went to my call log, finding no recent numbers on the list. “Why don't we just get back to our game eh? Try and forget this happened?”

She nodded and we both sat back down to finish our game. Halfway through the match we both began to feel sleepy, it was almost night time anyway so we decided to head to bed early so that we could make the most out of the next day, which was thankfully the start of a weekend.

As we lay beside each other in bed I scooted over to her side slightly and wrapped my arms around her. This caused her to smile and plant a kiss on my cheek before closing her eyes, mine soon closing as I let sleep take me.

That would be the last time either of us would sleep in that bed again.

As my pleasant dream about a world of coding began to shift, I found myself pulled further into the dream, more aware of what was going on, almost as if I was awake. I then saw a shadowed figure in front of me. It was a man that looked to be wearing a white trenchcoat who had spiky black hair. “You said you wanted that power, well now I'm going to give it to you. I'm sorry I have to do this, but there is no one else who is suitable for your new position.” It was the voice of the man on the phone.

“Wait what? Who are-”

My question was cut short as a bright flash of light blinded me. “See you soon...Error Sans.”

That was over three thousand years ago. My life took a massive turn, I was placed in the body of a fictional character and sent to a fictional world, along with Megan, thank God I still get to be with her through this.

So, now that you know how I was placed in this glitched and broken body, allow me to tell you of my time in Equestria.

Third Person

Twilight had finally managed to stop Starlight from tampering with the timelines after learning her backstory, which she did not believe justified her actions in the time rift and the equality village, but kept quiet about it. She knew that it may seem like nothing to her, but it was obviously something that had damaged Starlight and it would not be right to just say that her life hasn't been that hard.

Her, Starlight and the rest of the main six had spent time bonding. Although the rest of the group did have some trouble trusting Starlight at first, they had grown to accept her and welcomed her into their group.

Of course there were some stern words received from Celestia for her actions, messing with the time steam was not something she could just look over, but since there was no damage caused by the event, she was given a warning and the mane six were instructed to keep her in line.

As Celestia watched them leave her throne room she sighed and leaned back in her seat. “There's no way that all of this has happened without him noticing.” She said to herself as got to her feet.

Walking down the long hallways of the castle as orange light shone through the window as it was almost sunset, Celestia approached the large room that held the stained glass windows that were never placed in the throne room.

Using her magic to light the dark rooms many candles she looked up at one particular window that glowed red as the light of the candles reached it. It was primarily red glass. On it, it sowed a strange black and red figure with a yellow smile holding up a hand, various blue strings attached to the fingers of the figure. The strings were wrapped around a red heart, seeing to crack as it was squeezed by the cables. “It's only a matter of time before he feels the effects of the timeline shifting.” She looked to a black plaque below the glass plain, a named carved in red standing out to the solar princess. “Error Sans.”

“Sister, are you alright?” Turning her head around Celestia saw her younger sister Luna standing in the doorway. “Why would you come here of all places? Has something happened?”

Celestia sighed and turned her body to face Luna. “A pony has tampered with the natural timeline of this world.” She began. “So far there seems to be no damage caused and everything seems to be alright...but I fear that this will cause Error to resurface.”

Luna just looked to her sister in confusion. “I do not understand why you would be afraid. Error has been a good friend to you and I, what is there to be scared of?”

“Because the only reason Error would surface is if severe damage has been dealt to our world and other errors begin to appear like two thousand years ago.” Celestia stated simply. “Too many lives were lost during that time, we cannot allow that to happen to today's ponies, they're too soft and kind to have to deal with something like the errors.”

The errors were creatures that were essentially living glitches in reality and could corrupt other beings to turn them into more errors.

Luna nodded and sighed. “I think to be safe we should start giving the guards tougher training as well as new battle gear. At least then we'll have something to fall back on if the elements or Error fail.”

Celestia placed a hoof to her muzzle in thought. It was true that the Royal Guard was only given the most basic of training as Equestria had no need of highly trained soldiers as the thousand years of peace had brought the ponies of the land to become a calm and friendly civilisation, with their ruler being a natural mother figure who would treat them all with kindness and compassion.

The guards were mainly used to act as intimidators, dealing with the disputes of civilians and occasionally dealing with the small amount of crime in the towns and cities. There was no need to put money into something that would be considered useless at the time.

"You're right sister, perhaps we should begin to toughen up our forces. Contact Shining Armour immediately."

Luna nodded and walked off down the hallway. Celestia turned back to the glass plain, her thoughts uneasy and her breathing slowing.

"Hopefully it will never have to come to that, I hate putting my little ponies in danger." With one last look at the window she turned around and shut the door.

"I think that went well." Twilight said as she, Starlight and their friends walked through the streets of Canterlot.

"I wouldn't say it went well, but it could have been a lot worse." Spike commented as he walked beside his adoptive sister.

Starlight sighed and looked to Twilight with a frown. "Spike's right, it could have been worse, but I do feel like I deserve a harsher punishment than a scolding."

"I think it was enough of a punishment to hear Princess Celestia yell in her Royal Canterlot Voice." Rainbow Dash said uneasily as she hovered beside Starlight. "It's the first time I've heard her yell like that, it was even louder than Princess Luna's."

"Well, lets just get home and forget about it, it's done now so we don't need to worry." Rarity reassured them with a cheery voice and a smile on her face. "And Starlight dear, if you're still feeling stressed when we get back, why don't you come with me to the spa? I know that Aloe and Lotus will be able to wash your negativity away."

Starlight smiled at the fashion pony. "Thanks Rarity, I may just take you up on that offer."

With her spirits up slightly and a smile on her face, Starlight and the others boarded the train that would take them to their home, Ponyville. Taking a window seat, Starlight watched the beautiful landscape go by as the train sped along, the sunset painting the sky orange and light blue, the light shining off of the many lakes and waterfalls causing them to glisten. Sighing Starlight curled up and closed her eyes, deciding to take a nap while they were waiting.

They were all unaware of the creature that had been awakened due to the events that had transpired the week before.

Meanwhile, Deep Underground

There are very few that know of the caverns underneath Canterlot Mountain, those that do only share the information in the form of cryptic stories of a strange skeletal figure that would cast away the darkness when the time comes. No one believed the tales of course, but that just meant that the aforementioned skeleton could live in peace.

Down one of the many caves in one of the deepest, darkest caverns, the sounds of snoring could be heard. After awhile, the snoring stopped.

Suddenly, the cavern became enveloped in a dark red glow, small pieces of reality seeming to glitch in and out of existence as the figure in the darkness woke from his sleep. Two glowing yellow eyes gleamed in the darkness as a glitched voice spoke.

“Who-who-who's been s-s-s-screwing with the timeline?”

As the figure began to move towards the cave he was stopped as another figure in the dark began to wake up. “Error...is everything alright?” A soft, tired female voice asked.

“I'm not-not-not-not sure Tori-i-i, I was just-st-st about to go out and ta-ta-ta-take a look around.”

The other figure snapped their fingers and the candles in the room were lit, revealing the furniture in the cave. A large king size bed, a dresser, a wardrobe, a couch and loveseat and finally a coffee table. “If you're going out, promise me you won't do anything stupid.”

Error Sans looked to his fiancé with his uneven glowing pupils. “I promise I-I-I-I won't hurt anyone too bad if things get ro-ro-ro-rough.” He said reassuringly.

“Well, that's the best I'll get from you.” The younger looking and slimmer Toriel leaned forward and planted a kiss on Errors forehead. “I'll see you later dear, be safe.”

Error just smirked. “We both know I'm not the one-one that needs to be k-k-k-kept safe.” With a glitched flash Error was gone.

Author's Note

I hope you enjoyed the first chapter. Feel free to point out any errors, it will help me put greatly.

I've wanted to do an Undertale fic for awhile now, and I saw that Sans was already taken, so I decided to use Error Sans for this.

Also, if you would like to know what Error Sans sounds like watch the video below, I'm not really good at describing voices that much.
