Octavia frowned “Can you please explain what the heck was that?”

Everyone else looked puzzled, Ink spoke up first “Blue is probably the most secretive of us. He didn’t tell any of us about this unless...” He then turned to Carrot “Did he tell you anything, you are his brother?”

Carrot shook his head “He has been secretive ever since he told he was part of your group, a few years back he started being even more secretive. He stopped returning to Underswap a year ago.”

Another glitch opened only for a black skeleton similar to Blueberror. Dream frowned “What are you doing here, Error?”

Error growled “I felt a glitch appear here! That is not a normal event to happen, there are only a handful of individuals who can do that!”

Mary lifted her axes only for Octavia to raise her arm “Blueberror left here, he lost his temper and started glitching. He opened a glitch to leave here.” A pained look crossed Error’s face, Octavia pressed “You know something about this, don’t you? I can see it on your face.”

Error glared at her then the other and then back to her. Octavia’s eyes met his, there was no anger, hate or fear but concern. Error sighed “Fine, I’ll tell you all the story but I won’t repeat myself so listen closely.” He grimaced “I captured Blue and brought him to the Anti-Void.”

Ink scowled “You did what!”

Octavia turned to him with a glare, a small ember burning in the back of her eyes “I perfectly understand your reasoning on wanting to beat him to a pulp but he is telling us important information so kindly be quiet.” Octavia noticed as she turned around that Mary put an axe to his throat, she would have words about that later.

Error continued after sparing a grateful glance to Mary who nodded in response “Blue was really kind, and despite my best efforts to shove his kindness in his face he wouldn’t stop. I was planning to let him go after I handled a couple of things for two hours.” He then scowled at Ink “I was attacked by Ink, it took me several weeks to lose Ink. I returned to find that Blue had turned into an Error like me, after that I figured out I must have been someone else once.”

Classic frowned “Who were you?” Error closed his eyes, his form shifted to a white skeleton with white clothes, a deep red cut through his chest and a huge amount of glitching around his right eye socket. Classic froze “You were Geno.”

Error returned to normal and nodded “I figured that out after Blue became Blueberror, I let him leave butI kept an eye on him for a while after his transformation, I didn’t see him face to face again though until the X-Event.”

Octavia frowned “I would like to speak to him, could you take me to his location. He needs a friend.”

Error frowned “I know one place he liked to go, I showed it to him after the event. I will only take you though, he might run again if too many arrive.”

Mary glared at him “At least let me come with, I don’t trust you!”

Octavia turned to her “I’ll be fine, I will come back. After all I have a lot of questions about you, I expect to get some answers.” Mary grumbled under her breath. Error created a glitched out space, the two stepping through onto a meteorite. Blueberror was looking as the stars as they passed by, soft orbs shining in the dark emptiness of space.

Octavia walked over and took a seat next to him “It is a beautiful sight isn’t it. I understand why you came here.”

Blueberror smiled sadly “It’s peaceful out here, where there is nothing but the stars. I just wish…” He started to laugh as his eyes started to glitch out “#@#@#@#@!” He began hoping from asteroid to asteroid with a manic grin.

Error frowned hopping after him, Octavia followed jumping after the glitchy skeletons. Error frowned “I don’t think you should follow, he could be dangerous.”

Octavia grimaced “I’ll be fine!” She then scowled as Blueberror was getting further and further away “We’ll lose him at this rate!” Octavia started to speed up, matching Error’s pace.

Error frowned as he could start see Octavia starting to sweat “Neither of us are running at full speed yet you are winded. You can’t keep up with him.”

Octavia was about to retort when she missed her jump, she looked down as she started to fall into the darkness. She felt herself being grabbed by someone, Blue was looking at her with concern “Are you alright?”

Octavia nodded as Blue placed her down on the asteroid “While I’m glad you came, it is very risky to come near me in that state. You were lucky I went happy crazy and not violent crazy.” Blue slumped “You know I am grateful that you wanted to help but if things really kicked off between me and Error you would be in real danger.”

Octavia grumbled “I know but who else would be able to do it. You ran off angrily because of the others.”

Blue sighed “I know, I owe everyone back there an apology. I better get started on that, let’s go back.”

Octavia frowned “I need to get some answers from Mary, if I am going to continue to travel with her I will need some answers.” Error nodded, Blue teleported them back to the Star Sans residence only to see Mary shivering in a corner, her pinprick sized pupils thin darting between everyone in the room rapidly.

Octavia’s eyes narrowed “What happened?”

Ink shrugged “I touched her and she suddenly freaked out. Neither of us know what happened to her, we have just stayed here watching.”

Error deadpanned “Sounds like she is traumatized, likely by physical abuse.” He then looked at Octavia “She must have been on some strong medication and she has run out, hmm I will need to do a full evaluation of her body.” Mary’s pupils flashed pink before she lost consciousness.
