Error In The System
Day in the code
Previous ChapterNext ChapterError walked slowly through the never ending dimension of code, thinking to himself while also quickly fixing any broken code he came across, which was second nature to him at that point. The code welcomes him, it seeing him as a part of itself after he spent so much time manipulating the code and naturally bonded with it. Soon he came across an area that appeared to be heavily damaged and hastily rearranged. Curious, Error opened a portal to the void to see what area of reality he was in. He took a quick glance at the universe in that Multiverese before groaningg and rolling his eyes and closing the portal.
"That R-R-Rick and his g-grandson Morty-y-y...always stirring up-up trouble." He sighed and got to work repairing the broken code and rearranged it so that the words that suffered damage wouldn't be affected by Rick or Mortys antics. "I r-really should kill-kill that guy, he j-just causes problems for ev-everyone-one and ruins realities."
Once the final piece of code was repaired he pulled a notepad and pen out of the code and made a note to destroy Rick at a later date once his purpose in the multiverse was fulfilled, as to avoid more problems and damage.
"While I-I do enjoy the sh-show, I'd p-prefer to not have-have to deal with t-the aftermath that follows."
With that noted, he continued his stroll through the infinite code, occasionally looking into other realities and checking up on displaced he knew of. He was keeping his eye on one in particular, one he didn't like in the slightest, who was too powerful for his own good. He even had to completely erase an entire reality from the code and replace it because of something that displaced had done to another. Although that was a task that took about three months to do. It was like a copy and paste thing, but he had to cut certain things out and reverse the effects on the victim of that displaced before returning them to their own universe.
Every time he looked into that displaceds universe he struggled to not just jump in and kill him for what he had saw. "O-One day..." He was giving this person a chance to show that they could be better. If he didn't improve, he'd go in for the kill.
He shook his head and moved away from that section of the multiverse. He pulled a box of pizza out of the code and began to happily snack away. He liked his pizza a certain way, his favourite being a cheese based pizza with no ketchup and slices of cooked ham on the top. He preferred ketchup as a drink, not on foods.
The food acted as a pleasant distraction as he moved away from that displaced and moved on. He pulled a chair out of the code, sat down with the pizza and opened a portal to a reality where ponies were locked in a deadly war with the changelings. He just smiled as he watched a large battle take place. He was never one for large conflicts and didn't really feel comfortable with seeing ponies die, but over the many centuries he had lived and explored he came to accept that violence is part of reality and that people die in conflicts. He had even come to enjoy watching the ponies bash the changelings heads in, but moved away from any pony deaths or just used the code to change it into just an injury instead of death, where another pony could save them and bring them to safety. Although, with his new body and shifted personality, he did enjoy many dark things.
He winced and chuckled darkly as he saw a large stallion soldier rip a changeling in two, uses its intestines as a rope to tie the two hands together to make a pair of corpse nunchucks. "M-M-Man, that is brutal...d-don't see myself-elf doing that th-though." He chuckled and bit into his pizza as he watched the huge warrior use his enemy's corpse against its comrades.
After an hour of watching type battle he got bored and closed the portal.
"I think I've-I've been a-away for long enough-ough." He threw the items he had back into the code to return them to their universes before jumping into a portal back to his home reality.
Error landed just outside of Ponyville and looked up to see the moon rising high into the night sky. His smile faltered as he remembered why he had decided to leave that reality for awhile in the first. He knew Toriel was smart enough to not try to talk about it with him, he was just worried the ponies might try to apologise to him and bring the conversation up again, something he really didn't want.
He took in a breath and signed, which of course came out glitched. He sat down on the grass green grass abd looked up at the stars before looking to his hands and legs, then his chest and then placed a hand on his face. He sighed again as he fell back and lay with his limbs spread out. "H-How am I e-e-ever gonna have a-a kid like th-this?"
Deep underground in the caves, Toriel walked out of the bathroom with a small device in her hand. She lay her back against a wall and looked at it strangely. The pregnancy test in her had kept switching from positive to negative, not that it was unexpected but it was still concerning. She couldn't feel anything wring in her body, so it was strange to see the test act in such a way.
After a few moments, it stopped. Toriel looked at the final result and sighed, a mixture of joy abd slight dread. "How am I going to tell Garic this?" She hid the test away and walked off towards the bedroom to wait for her lovers return and to think about what she would say when he came back.
