Since the x Cross event occurred, he had nowhere to go, everything that happened left him tired, the only place he had was with Nightmare where there were more Sans like him but crazy, well you could say that He had a home, he would do everything Nightmare asked of him, even protecting it with his life. Just like now he had gone on a mission with Nightmare to collect negative feelings but they had been attacked by Ink Sans and Dream Sans, Nightmare's brother, Nightmare had been attacked with Several dream arrows of positive feelings and this left him weak Cross looked at Nightmare worried and he was also very nervous about what to do next, he saw that Nightmare could barely stand Dream: Cross! Stay away from nightmare please **Cross backed away slowly, he was worried about Nightmare, he saw Dream walk closer to Nightmare*Dream was aiming with his bow: Cross please you don't have to go with him Cross stopped backing away and stayed where he was Cross: What are you going to do to him?!Cross suddenly stepped forward, his red eye glowing faintly as he glared at Dream

Cross: ...I won't let you hurt him. He's the only one who gave me a place to belong after everything fell apart. And if that means standing against you—so be it.Dream looked a bit surprised when Cross stepped forward, Nightmare saw what was happening and also felt surprised that Cross was defending him Dream: You don't understand. He's manipulating you.Nightmare let out a weak chuckle, his tentacles twitching with effort as he tried to push himself up

Nightmare: "Manipulating him? Oh please, Dream. Unlike you, I actually gave him a choice." He coughed slightly before grinning darkly. "And look—he chose me. Now if you’ll excuse us..."

*A thick inky darkness began pooling around Cross and Nightmare—preparing to warp them away from the battlefield.*Dream's grip on his bow tightened, watching as Nightmare and Cross prepared to escape through the darkness Dream: Cross, please, you don't have to go with him! He's dangerous.
