A Fractured Kaleidoscope

by LoreWitch

Summary:

Ripped away from the only home he knew, Ink, now renamed Kaleidoscope, stumbles into a flawed multiverse that now expects him to help solve all its problems.

It was hard to believe months ago he was just a simple alchemist helping his brothers make potions and hoping to one day become a popular artist....

Now soulless, alone, and branded as the multiverse's protector, he meets friends and foes alike, forms connections and experiences losses while at the same time trying to figure out his purpose and himself. Not yet realizing this multiverse is in danger from more hidden enemies than he'd like to believe.

An exploration turns into a hunt for missing pieces of himself, only to lose more than his soul along the way in his one-sided drive to become whole again. He can't face his brothers otherwise.

He learns, though, that everything is not so black and white, and despite his attempts to save it, he may in fact be the cause of this multiverse's downfall, unless he makes the sacrifice he knows must be made, whatever the cost.

He is... a Ink after all.

Right?

Notes:

Hi everyone!! This is going to be my debut real first fic that's in the Undertale Community. I did some one shots before but hoping you all enjoy this thing that's been rolling around in my brain for a while. Updates may be slow for this as I have a busy life outside writing and the writing gods have not been smiling down on me lately.

This fic is inspired by several other Ink fanfics I've read from every place you can think of and I'm hungry for more! Love the little guy!

I may rewrite the summary as I'm not too fond of it anymore but we'll see lol.

Also this Multiverse is named MysticVerse and all the AUs have a Fantasy theme attached to them in some form or another. So MysticTale, the first Universe we visit will be more like the central Undertale Universe.

Feel free to ask me questions and such in the comments!

Anyways thank you for coming along for the ride as Kali explores the multiverse and learns and grows.

And well.. yes suffers XD.

Chapter 1: Prologue

Everything… is gone.

I can’t believe it! It’s all dying?!

What should we do?! How can we stop this?

There is no hope.

No positivity

No negativity

Nothing.

How can we salvage this?

Funny how one little “oopsie” can destroy an entire multiverse nowadays.

This isn’t funny!

I’m not laughing.

Oh come on, it’s all over anyways! Might as well get a few chuckles in.

Look, we can’t start fighting among ourselves. We need to figure out how to fix this. How did everything go so wrong?

It was his fault. If it wasn’t for his lack of action-

That’s a lie!

ENOUGH!

………

…….

Perhaps….let us start at the beginning.

Oh stars! We’ll be dead and dust by the time the first chapter of THAT begins.

Nice knowing ya pal, Eat stardust and let me know what it tastes like will ya?

Star…dust…

Will you three chuckleheads just focus for one moment?! And why aren’t YOU helping?

I’m making sure in my last will and testament that you get nothing.

….

I swear if I didn’t need all of you I would dust you myself at this point. Anyway…

Where should we start first?

Maybe that fool that got us into this mess?

………

Yes…

Let us start with..

Kali..
