Nullus had to ask himself... why did this happened to him, he was having a totally normal day until some random portal sucked him in now his abilities are weakened and he is for some reason in front of a warehouse and smells blood

"Why did this happen to me?" Nullus said, sighing. As he was about to leave, he felt something inside the warehouse that made him stop. 'Negative energy' Nullus thought. 'There seems to be a large group of people inside for that amount of energy, but I only feel the presence of four in there.' He sighed. 'I'm gonna regret this, aren't I?'

"Please... help..."

Nullus hears laughter and senses that one of the people inside has died, along with a feeling of being watched. '...Yep, I'm gonna regret this' he groans, then enters the warehouse, fully aware of the stupidity of his decision.

As nullus walks around, he realizes the warehouse is a maze and is quite impressed as he touches the walls, appreciating whoever made the maze, nullus notes the maze is covered in slash marks and dried blood, he smells fresh blood somewhere but doesn't know where exactly due to the entire place smelling like dried blood

as he walks around he tries to use his abilities again to feel the presence of those inside 'damn that stupid portal weakening me at the time where I need them' nullus concentrates more and finally felt something.

"Shit," Nullus exclaimed, swiftly dodging before he could get sliced in half. "Well, aren't you fast," a man remarked. Nullus scanned the area and saw someone charging at him, quickly dodging again. "This is a fucking slaughterhouse, isn't it?" Nullus grumbled, evading another attack from behind. "Well, aren't you fun," a woman commented.

Nullus stepped back to create a safe distance. He got injured from them but not so serious"Is this how you treat elders?" he asked, eyeing the two in front of him. The first attacker, a short man with black hair and a purple and black hoodie, held a large glowing cyan scythe. The woman, tall and pale with scars covering her body, had red and white eyes.

"May I ask you again, is this how you treat your elders?" Nullus inquired, crossing his arms. "Pfft, I'm pretty sure he's older than you, 'old man', this bitch right here is 120+ years old" the woman retorted. "Shut up, Slash." the man shot back.

Nullus chuckled. "Well, I've got good news for you, young man. You're officially the second youngest here since I'm way over 500 years old," he revealed.

The two looked at Nullus in shock. "Say what right now?"

Before Nullus could speak again, blue strings wrapped around him, dragging him. These strings were similar to a glitch Nullus knew well. "Pixel? Is that you?!" Nullus exclaimed as he was lifted up in the air by the strings. "I don't know who that is," a new voice said, "but I ain't them." "hey byte" "sup pluto" byte looks at nullus and back at the other 2 "why haven't you guys killed this bitch yet?" Byte said "we were going to but he was fast and kept dodging" pluto said.

As the three continued to talk and bicker, Nullus attempted to use his abilities again, and they slowly returned. His ability to sense people's aura came back, and he realized something about Pluto.

"Hey, you with the scythe!" Nullus called out to Pluto, who glanced at him while Nullus was still dangling in the air by the strings. "Your aura is different from the others, why is that?" Nullus questioned.

"Aura? What do you mean by that?... wait, haven't you ever heard of us before?" Pluto responded.

"Obviously not because I just got here!" Nullus retorted.

The three looked at each other and grinned. "Oh, ho ho, you're in for quite a surprise, bitch," Pluto said with a smirk. Byte chuckled as the strings tightened around Nullus, who noted to himself that the tightness was enough to break a mortal's bones. Nullus looked back at the three, and Pluto chuckled.

"So, you're telling me you've never heard of those two or me? The fucking 'demon' of negativity!?" Pluto exclaimed. Nullus's mind raced as he pieced things together. 'Demon of Negativity? Wait, an unfamiliar place (but it seems to be in Omegatale, but Omegatale seems different), string abilities like Pixel's, that tall girl similar to... oh shit,' Nullus thought to himself.

"Are you one of the guardians of positive and negative?" Nullus questioned.

"Oh so you do know and Yeah, why do you ask?" Pluto replied.

'Shit. I'm in another fucking multiverse arent i' Nullus realized. "Listen, where is your Jack?"

"Jack? Who the fuck is that?" Pluto asked.

"Pluto, can't we just kill him now?" Slash interjected.

"Wait, he goes by other names, What about Dream? Do you know or have a Dream as in the guardian of positive or something?" Nullus questioned, Nullus doesn't understand how this world works but if this version of himself is like this maybe this world's jack is different and can help him.

The three remained silent until Byte suddenly used her strings to throw Nullus across the walls and floor. "Don't you dare mention that bitch," Slash said. Nullus sensed the tension in the air. 'Guess they have a bad history with this world's version of him.' Nullus thought as he was hurled around. Byte did a final throw, and Nullus crashed to the ground, breaking the surface beneath him.

As they observed Nullus not moving, his body bleeding black, which shocked them. "Is he bleeding black blood?" Byte questioned. "NGL, but that's kinda cool," Slash remarked, approaching the body. "Gotta make sure you're dead, buddy," Slash said cheerfully, using her knife to slice off Nullus's right arm and stab his abdomen open, wanting to gut him. "Woah!" Slash yelled, backing away as she realized something unexpected.

"What's the matter, Slash?" Pluto asked.

"Dude, this bitch got no organs!?" Slash exclaimed in disbelief.

"What! Are you saying he's hollow or something?" Byte and Pluto approached the body and saw that what Slash said was true; the body had no organs. "How the hell is that possible? He should be dead without organs?!" Byte exclaimed.

"NGL, but that's actually kinda cool... wait, if he has no organs, does that mean there's a chance he could still be—" Before Pluto could finish, something slammed his head hard against the ground making him unconscious, and Byte was thrown across the room. "Byte! Pluto!" Slash yelled, just before something stabbed her in the right abdomen.

Slash screams in pain and looks at the thing that stabs her. It was a black tentacle, and her eyes widened as the tentacle was connected to the guy she was gonna gut out "shit" Slash exclaims before getting thrown across the room but eventually stopped.

Nullus stood up and looked at Slash, who was on the ground bleeding. "That was quite rude of you to gut someone out, 'Slash'," Nullus said, his voice tinged with anger. The tentacles that replaced his arm turned sharp and charged at Slash, but before they could hit her, Byte's strings wrapped around her and dragged her away to safety.

"Slash, are you alright!?" Byte said, worried for her friend.

"Do I look OK!?" Slash yelled before groaning from pain.

The 2 quickly dodges nullus Tentacles before it could hit them

'what the hell is he!?' Slash thought.

'Shit what happened to pluto' byte thought

Nullus removes his mask and glasses, the 2 are in shocked to see his mouth is entirely black and weird black fluid is flowing out and his eye sockets hollow "I'm just a simple guardian that's all and don't worry about your friend he is fine... For now, " nullus chuckles, and suddenly, another tentacle charges at byte. She dodged it, but it sliced a bit off her cheek.

Nullus' head starts growing antlers, and his left hand creates a violet fire. "You sons of bitches are so fucking screwed."

__________________________________

Pluto slowly opens his eyes his head hurts and tries to remember what happened before he got knocked out

"Pluto wake up!" Pluto hears someone said he can't tell who as his ears still ringing

He caught the scent of fire and fresh blood, heard something collapse, and felt something wet on his head, realizing it was his own blood. Slowly, he opened his eyes to a scene of devastation: Slash was wounded and bleeding from her abdomen, while Byte appeared bruised but not as severely injured but looks so exhausted. Beyond them, the warehouse was engulfed in flames. Then, he saw something that made his skin crawl the man they had sought to kill. He had tentacles replacing the arm Slash had removed, antlers on his head, and his mask and glasses were finally gone, revealing his face. Pluto saw that he had no eyes, and his mouth was entirely black, dripping with black fluid but what made his skin crawl even more is the amount of negative energy he feels from him that it surpasses his own and possibly can overwhelm delusion if he were here.

"Ah so my other self has finally awakened" the man said, 'what' pluto thought

"Pluto, we gotta go now!" Byte said and immediately grabbed pluto and slash and began to run.

Nullus immediately chases after them and starts to send more Tentacles at them and all 3 are way to tired to fight or run.

Byte suddenly has an idea, she realizes that they have a good distance and immediately stops running.

"BYTE WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!" Slash yelled

As nullus is about to send Tentacles to charge at her, byte uses her strings and it wrapped all around his body and immediately summons a Portal throws him there and immediately closes it.

Byte pants and falls to the ground exhausted and looks at her 2 friends who are also exhausted.

Pluto has slash arm around his shoulder helping her walk and goes to byte "why didn't you used that earlier" Pluto asked

Byte glares at him "Oh I don't know, maybe is because we were being chased by a god damn guy who we tried to kill but is probably a demon and was trying to kill us and we were heavily injured or something Pluto" byte said still on the ground

Pluto sighs "here let me help you out" Pluto said and grabs bytes arm and has it around his shoulders to help her walk "come on let's go home I have a demon chicken waiting for me"

Meanwhile somewhere in outertale at a alley

"Outertale doesn't seem to be that different from the one we know retro" nullus said as he is slowly healing his wounds and regenerating back his arm while looking at the stars.

"Shouldn't we find a more negative au for you to regenerate nulls?" Retro the parasite that finaly left nullus eye socket is now on his shoulder asked out of concern

"Nah we are in a new multiverse that we don't know how different it is from ours it's better to play it safe" nullus said and looks at the parasite on his shoulder

"Fair enough cause I ain't ready or do I want to die" retro said agreeing with nullus "so are your powers back yet?"

"They are still weak but are coming back but is slow so it seems like we are stuck here in the mean time" nullus said

"Well isn't just great" retro said and jumps as he nullus on alert now. "soemone is coming?"

"Yep" nullus said and tries to stand up but fails and falls "shit I'm exhausted"

"Crap what should we-" before retro could finish he hears the footsteps getting louder and goes inside nullus jacket to hide

Nullus slowly regained consciousness, finding himself lying on a couch in a dimly lit room half naked and covered in bandages. As he sat up and surveyed his surroundings, he noticed the abundance of blue-colored items. 'A lot of blue stuff,' Nullus thought to himself. He then attempted to use his abilities to see if they had returned to normal. 'They are still weakened, but at least they are coming back,' Nullus noted to himself. He felt the presence of three people here. One was Retro, who he sees hiding in the couch nullus is laying on, while the other two were elsewhere in the house. 'Must be the one that brought me here, although the other one doesn't seem to be... alive,' Nullus thought.

"Retro, are you okay?" Nullus whispered, immediately closing his own mouth as negative fluids continued to drip from it.

"Yeah, I'm fine," Retro whispered back, peeking out slightly from the pillow he is hiding behind. "I'm guessing you're leaking out of that negative fluids stuff?" Retro asked casually. Nullus nodded in response. "I'm gonna take a wild guess that you're probably wondering why I'm still hiding," Retro asks, and nullus nods.

"The guy who brought you here, something's off about him. While you were out cold, the weirdo kept arguing with the air, but it felt like there was another person there," Retro explained, his tone nonchalant but with a hint of concern. "I've got a feeling he's not alone, and whoever—or whatever—is with him, it's something that-" they hear footsteps and Retro immediately goes back into hiding behind the pillow.

Someone enters the room "Oh your awake" the man says

Nullus looks at the guy and sees he is in total shock. Nullus is confused as to why. "Yo-you-you have no eyes?!" the guy stammers out, clearly taken aback by Nullus's lack of eyes.

'Ohhhhh yeah, I forgot I don't have my glasses.' Nullus thought, "Listen-" Nullus began to speak before closing his mouth since he was still leaking negative fluids from his mouth and a bit from his eye sockets.

"Oh God!" The man exclaimed, Nullus waved his hands around in an attempt to signal that there was no need to panic and mimed holding a pen and paper, indicating that he wanted to communicate through writing.

The man remained still for a moment before leaving the room. Luckily, he seemed to understand what Nullus was doing, as he returned with a pen and paper. Nullus took the pen and paper and started to write.

'Sorry that I freaked you out,' he wrote first, followed by, 'where are my clothes' followed by 'Thank you for helping me,' and finally, 'Where am I?' The man looked at what he wrote.

"well first no need to apologize, second your welcome, and third you're clothes are being washed and fourth are in my house" is what the man responded.

'Why did you brought me back to your home?' Nullus wrote again wondering why the mortal would bring a total stranger back into his own house.

"Well, it's because you were all injured, and I couldn't bring you to the hospital because they might think you are a demon because of your... horns?" the man said, pointing at Nullus's antlers. Nullus immediately tried to retract his antlers back. "Woah," the man exclaimed. "Also, now because of you having no eyes and that black fluid leaking out of your mouth, this would obviously give the impression that you are a demon"

Nullus writes on the paper 'I'm not a demon, but I'm not human either so I guess you made the right choice but aren't you worried I might do something to you since you thought that I was a demon at first?'

"Well, you haven't killed me yet, and I know someone way worse than a demon. Plus, you seem nice, so I'm not really that worried right now. Why are you gonna kill me?" the man said jokingly, although there was a hint of uncertainty in his tone.

'Don't worry I won't kill you' nullus wrote first followed by 'what's your name? I'm Nullus'

"You can call me hunter nullus" hunter said "...hey do you have a place to stay? He asked

'No I don't I just got here and I have 0 idea what this multiverse is' nullus wrote

"Multiverse? Wait are you saying your from another multiverse" hunter asked

'Yes, and this multiverse is very different from mine. Can you tell me what this multiverse is like, please?' Nullus wrote wanting to know what this world is like and not wanting to get himself in more trouble.

"Oh well ok" Hunter responds and starts to explain to him what he knows what this multiverse is like. "And that's pretty much it."

Nullus stayed still for a moment before finally writing, 'So you're telling me this world has this organization called Justice Reign where they kill criminals, and etc., and the founder named Delusion, who is the guardian of positive, and everyone believes he is an angel or God. Pluto, who everyone believes to be a demon, supposedly died 50-60 years ago, but you know that he is actually alive and your friend that left you, Byte, is with him, along with a girl named Slash. And not only that, everyone in this multiverse doesn't believe in the supernatural, even though Delusion and Pluto exist and are freaking a century old, magic exist, other universes exist, but NO ONE believe the supernatural such as demons and ghost exist?!'

"Yeah..." hunter responded and sees that the paper no longer has any space for nullus to write "want me to go grab some more paper?"

Nullus remembered something and slapped himself on the head before pulling out his phone from his pocket. The good news was that it still worked, despite having a cracked screen. However, the bad news was that it ran out of battery when he opened it. Nullus slumped and looked at Hunter, nodding for his offer for more paper.

Hunter came back with a few pieces of paper and gave it to nullus "... hey, can you stay here" hunter asked

'R u sure?' Nullus wrote on a piece of paper.

"Well it's not like you anywhere else to go plus it's nice to have company in this house" hunter responds, nullus notices that hunter seems to be reluctant to him leave

'I guess you're right, alright I'll stay' nullus wrote, nullus is suspicious of hunter as he still feels the presence of another minus him, hunter, and retro, and ever since he woked up he smells a dried blood on hunter but since he has nowhere else to go and is stuck here might aswell accept the offer.

Hunter smiles and hugs nullus tightly out of happiness. "Thank you for staying nullus" Hunter says sincerely, his voice warm and grateful.

"Hey wait what about me" Retro finally gets out of his hiding space

"AHHHH! WHAT IS THAT!" Hunter screamed pointing at retro

After a few minutes of explaining hunter went back to his bedroom going to sleep, he is happy that he has new friends staying with him a bit worried but hey new friends.

Meanwhile somewhere else

"3...2...1... hello, this is Jay Moons reporting live for duty" the reporter said speaking to the camera and the reporter and camera man approaches someone "excuse me captain Hendrickson can you provide us with any details regarding the incident that occurred here at the warehouse" the reported ask captain sparrow hendrickson

"Certainly, based on what we have found from our investigation, it appears that the warehouse was intentionally set ablaze, constituting an act of arson. Moreover, upon closer inspection, we discovered that the warehouse was rigged with traps. Additionally, amidst the wreckage, we uncovered multiple bodies that some were not completely consumed by the fire. These some of the individuals appear to have met a violent end, and their deaths were not caused by the fire, as evidenced by the varying degrees of decomposition. Our forensic teams are currently processing the scene and conducting autopsies to determine the cause of death and identify the victims." Sparrow responded looking at the camera.

"How many bodies were discovered captain?" The reporter asked

"So far, we've only found 20 bodies, but there could be more concealed beneath the debris or already reduced to ashes," Captain Hendrickson explained. "We're continuing our search efforts, scouring every inch of the site to ensure that nothing is overlooked."

________________

Back to hunter's house

Over the past few days, Nullus had proven to be a reliable roommate, cooking delicious meals, cleaning the house, and assisting with errands. Retro, too, had been surprisingly good company. However, suspicions began to grow about Hunter as they noticed heavy locks on the windows and front door of his house. When questioned, Hunter merely explained they were for security against break-ins, but Nullus and Retro couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to it.

Their concerns intensified when, during a moment alone, Hunter abruptly barged in and clung to Nullus, and they observed him staring into space, making facial expressions as though he were listening to someone talk. Nullus also sensed an increase in negative energy from Hunter, which made nullus more worried about him. They also still sense of another party in the house if only their abilities wasn't weakened they would have seen whoever is here but eventual they realized it's a ghost a vengeful one it seems as hunter seems to get worse more when the individual is near him and there were times when the 2 almost died(well retro almost died since nullus is immortal), one time they bring it up and nullus notices that hunter's negative energy gets worse and so they stopped before they continued and comforts hunter instead, but eventual something had happened.

Nullus was just about to prepare dinner until he heard something drop on the floor and looked to see it was Hunter's key, he knows it was that ghost and didn't understand why he keeps dropping hunter's keys to near him, he saw hunter in the door "hunter you ok?" Nullus asked out of concern as he sees hunter's face covered in fear and desperation.

"Don't leave me" hunter said to nullus

"What?" Nullus asked before getting tackled and hugged tightly by hunter

"Please don't leave me!" Hunter said crying

"Hunter what are you talking about and get off me!" Nullus responded and trying to get off hunter's grip

"NO! please don't leave me!" Hunter hugged tighter not wanting to let go.

Nullus doesn't know what happens next all he knows is that his vision all went black.

________________

Hunter couldn't believe what he had done. It was all Orange's fault. His new friends, he killed Nullus.

"You-you said he was trying to escape," Hunter stammered.

The ghost named Orange laughed, "Did you seriously believe it? It was a joke, Hunter. No wonder why you don't deserve friends, and now you're gonna die alone."

"SHUT UP!" Hunter screamed, dropping to his knees and staring at the bloodied kitchen knife he had used to kill Nullus by stabbing him in the head. "I-I-I STILL HAVE RETRO" hunter screamed at orange

"Pfft- that fucking parasite is obviously just going to use you after all he is a parasite but he probably won't after he finds out what you did to nullus" orange said and looks at the body on the floor "look at what you did hunter LOOK AT IT!"

Hunter's hands trembled as he stared at the body of Nullus. Tears welled up in his eyes as he struggled to comprehend the gravity of his actions. Orange's words echoed in his mind, twisting his emotions.

"You know, Hunter, you could have been happy. You had friends now, people who cared about you. But now... now you've ruined everything," Orange said, his voice dripping with malice.

Hunter felt anger rising within him, directed at the ghost. "This is all your fault!" he shouted, his voice trembling with rage. "You planted those doubts in my mind, made me believe that Nullus was going to leave me!"

Orange laughs. "Oh, come now, Hunter. I may have whispered in your ear, but you were the one who chose to listen to an obvious joke. And look where it got you."

Hunter's heart felt heavy with guilt and regret. He clutched at his chest, trying to silence the overwhelming turmoil within him. "I-I didn't mean to... I-I thought he was... trying to leave me," he whispered.

Orange chuckled darkly. "Oh, Hunter, always so pathetic. You let your insecurities and fears control you, and now you've destroyed everything good that comes to you in your life. You're nothing but a pathetic excuse for a human being."

Hunter's vision blurred as tears streamed down his cheeks. He felt a suffocating weight pressing down on him. "I-I'm sorry... I-I didn't mean to hurt anyone," he sobbed, his voice choked with emotion.

"Sorry won't bring him back, Hunter. You took his life, and now you have to live with the consequences. Forever haunted by the memory of what you've done like with all your other so called friends." orange responded.

"What's going o-" retro stops as he sees the body of nullus.

"Re-retro I can explain!" Hunter responded

"He won't believe you're excuse hunter" orange whispered in hunter's ear.

"What the hell happened?!" Retro responded

"I DIDNT MEAN TO KILL NULLUS IT WAS ALL- I-I-I-" Hunter keeps stammering not making any sense

"Hunter calm down! Relax you didnt kill nullus" retro said and approaches the body "see, wake up buddy"

"No retro he is dead I know your a parasite and you probably not understand death but..." hunter says to retro

"Pfft- is that parasite dumb or some-" before orange could continue they hear a groan

"Ow..."nullus said and gets up and touches his head to see his own blood "Huh so that explains the headache"

"WHAT THE FUCK!" orange screamed.

"NULLUS!" hunter exclaimed.

Both are in total shocked that nullus is actually alive

"See told he isn't dead, he is immortal" retro said and looks at his buddy nullus "hey nully how you doing?"

Nullus groans and looks at Hunter "Oh thank-... I can see you now bitch" nullus responded which made hunter and orange confused "Yeah I see you fucking orange" this made hunter and orange realized that nullus could see orange.

"YOU CAN SEE HIM/ME" both hunter and orange said.

"Well yes I can see him but before no but that's because my abilities were weakened but are slowly coming back " nullus explained. "Why did you stabbed me in the head that kinda hur-" before nullus could continue he was immediately hugged by hunter

"IM SORRY IM REALLY SORRY HE-HE-HE-" before hunter could continue nullus hugged him back.

"Shh-shh-shh it's ok hunter" nullus said while patting his back. "It's gonna be ok now hunter we are here for you"

Hunter stayed silent, his grip on Nullus tightening as he cried. Retro climbed on top of Hunter's head, gently patting his head in an attempt to comfort him. As Hunter sobbed, Nullus glanced over at Orange, who had hesitated in approaching the crying Hunter. It was the first time anyone other than hunter had ever acknowledged his presence, and he froze, unsure of how to react.

Nullus said glares at him to get out, orange didn't bother to argue since if nullus is immortal and of course comes from another multiverse where the supernatural is more acknowledged he doesn't not want to provoke him further right now and retreat.

As orange left nullus sees that hunter had passed out from all the intense emtions he had, Nullus gently carried Hunter to his bedroom, carefully laying him down on the bed. He tucked him in and sat by his side for a moment, watching over him with concern. Despite everything that had happened, Nullus couldn't help but feel sympathy for Hunter, understanding that his actions were driven by fear and manipulation from the ghost.

Retro hoped off hunter's head and into nullus shoulder "oof what a day" retro said

"Yep" nullus responded and looks at Hunter. "We should probably stay here incase he comes back for him"
