Small Olympus AU Drabble - Even gods have an awkward Teen stage...
Because the little trend @mikimakiboo and I made about loser Nightmare [Here] lives rent free in my mind hahaha. So... here we Go!!! just a quick Drabble about Killer joining lmao. Hope you like it friend!
*---------------------------*
Honestly? Getting stuck in the void is a rip off.
Killer had thought... He figured that once he finally did it. Once he finally managed to fight back and take control back from Chara he would be free. He would be able to reset everything to the start.
Seems like that had been foolish to even think as he just floats in the nothing. There is nothing.
So why is he here?
Is he just nothing?
Probably...
It is still... hard to remember them all.
To remember all the faces of the people who lived in the underground.
To remember who he used to be. Who he was meant to be?
He just sees himself as a weapon... he is just a weapon... Chara's weapon.
But Chara is gone now... He is a weapon without a master.
What does that make him? What can he even do now?
That is the nice part about being stuck in a dark void he suposes... There is no choice to make. There is no decision he needs to make. He can just... be.
Maybe that is nice. To just be. To not have to wrory. To not have to hurt... either be or do it.
Something... Soemthing is here?
He looks around. Searching. the void shouldn't be able to change. That is against the very fabric of the void. It is why he pulled Chara to here. Hoping that by doing this Chara would lose some of their grip on his being and the timeline. and it did! It worked! He managed to press the reset button... Except he was still here and-
He sees it.
It is a drop of pure blackness wihtin the void. It is slightly different than what surrounds it but it is obviously there...
It grows. It keeps growing and it makes a circle. Killer frowns as his body floats backwards and he pulls out his knife. He makes sure to be ready at a moment notice.
A smallish oval is formed and a dark shape steps out of the maybe portal. Then they take another step-
Only to trip and fall down. A duff bonk is heard as the other falls.
That... shouldn't be possible.
The void doesn't have a floor to fall on? It doesn't even have anyhting to trip over! how did the other trip?!
A groan is heard and the other moves to push themselves up only to not be able to touch anything, again no floor, and they yelp as they end up spinning in place. Arms waving, legs kicking. The strange limbs on their back lash out looking for anything to grab but they can't quite touch anything because again... Void.
Killer can't help but snort and let a laugh escape. Is his mind fully broken? Is he hallucinating?
For now he stashes his knife and floats over to the hallucination. He reached out and is shocked to make contact.
The contact cuases the other to stop spinning. They hang there upside down. Clearly dizzy and the limbs, tentacles aparently, are twitching and moving all independently.
The other shakes their skull before focussing on Killer "Ah! Euh. You are upside down?" they sound shocked.
Killer raises a brow "Pretty sure that is you." and he twists the other around to be upright. Maybe a bit too quickly but he can't help it.
The other is clearly affected as they sway a bit and seem to struggle to find balance in the void.
Killer snorts as he crosses his arms "How did you even trip? There is nothing to trip over?"
The other sputters and mumbles something about having expected floor. Then they straighten their back and stare at him "Hello mortal. I am Nightmare. God of negativity and future king and ruler of the multiverse! I am here to offer you a positionjob- job position!" and the socalled god just stands before him.
Killer takes a moment to just look at the maybe not hallucination his mind imagined.
The other is short, even shorter than him and Killer isn't the tallest, and chubby. They are covered with goop and the one eye that isn't covered by it is large and bright cyan, even if it still looks a bit hazed and dizzy.
Nightmare throws out his hand.
Killer snorts "A little to your left." nightmare looks confused before turning a bit and throwing his arm out again. Almost hitting Killer in the progress.
Killer isn't sure baout just following someone again. Last time it didn't go well when he made a deal just to experience something new. But... this being knows a way out of the void? He knows a way home?
That doesn't make sense? He enver heard of any god of negativity...
Nightmare continues to stand there even as Killer can see the tendrils start to move and idle, two of them are turning around one another. Nightmare's eye glances to the side before staring back at him, hand still out.
Killer leans his skull against his fist as he grins "And what exactly do you do? I never heard of you before."
Nightmare blinks before looking focused "I am the god of negativity! I bring negativity! It makes sure to balance the balance into a state of balance!" then he stops for a moment. a small cyan blush starts to appear as he sputters "It is!! Stuff! God stuff! Very complicated!"
Killer snorts as he gives anod "Of course of course. and what would i exactly do?"
Nightmare pauses before speaking "Well! It is... Just amatter of spreading negativity! then! I will gain more power and in turn become king."
Killer honestly isn't even sure if that counts as a plan. But it means a way away from here. Away from the void.
It isn't like he has a home now... He doens't even know what happened to his home... is he even allowed to clal it his home still?
He doesn't.
On the other hand. He will be out of the void.
The multiverse? Multiverse theory is real? That is perfect! He will use this idiot of a god to gain knowledge about this new place. Then once he knows the basics and how to travel it he will betray this stupid god and disappear. Never to be found again. Oh he can't wait for the shocked look on this god's face when he gets outsmarted by just a mortal.
Killer makes sure to sigh loudly as he takes the hand "Sure whatever."
Nightmare stars and the not winded together tendrils lash out. A smile appears on his face "Really?" he focusses "I mean! Of course you accept! this is a good deal!" He raises a hand and the black oval portal returns and they step through.
They end up before a large castle. It is imposing and dark looking. some victorian style mixed up in it and some statues of different creatures all around.
Ngihtmare starts to lead the way and Killer follows "This! is my castle! and now also your home. We will stay here to plan before we go to different worlds to do our work! No one knows where this place is!"
Great. he isolated himself.
Nightmare continues on "I cna edit it as a please. I took inspiration from books and stories and fabricated this world to fit those images. If anything needs to be changed or included do let me know." he pauses in the large hall "Well. This is the hall." he points towards the different doors and says what leads where.
What happens next is a whirlwind where Killer rushes after an excited god as they, he? shows him around the place. IN the end he shows his room which is right next to Nightmare's.
Nightmare's sounds downright excited even as he tries to hide it. But the tendrils are straight up wagging as he speaks "As you are my first ever follower you are also my right hand now!"
First ever follower?
Killer can't help but ask "How long have you been a god?"
Nightmare blinks but answers "I have been a god for... about five hunderd years now... I gained my powers when I was... eight? yes eight."
Killer nods... does that...
Nightmare nods "Get some rest! I will go get some food. I will be back soon." and he walks away. Silence until a yelp and a duff clank of him falling against something.
To be expected as one of the tendrils tends to wrap around Nightmare's own leg.
Killer just closes the door and sits on the clean bed. He can see the sun shining outside and a large forest against this new place.
It is a child.
Killer doens't know how but it is a child.
Did it even grow up? Was it frozen at age 8? do gods age slower?
Killer can't believe this.. he is stuck working for a child AGAIN.
It is okay.
Just grind your teeth.
Learn what you need. and then you can leave.
Eyes on the prize and keep the plan in mind.
Killer will leave quickly and not get stuck. He isn't an idiot. He knows what to do.
Just play this game and let it happen. it is a matter of time before he has his freedom again.
