Prologue
Things were quiet, or as quiet as the core could be anyways. The only sound to be heard was the deep loud whirring of the core as it powered the entire underground. The emptiness was to be expected with how late at night it was. If anyone had been around though they would have heard something else under the core's heartbeat, something that shouldn't have been there; a small metallic tap tapping of someone's hurried footsteps. A small dark figure was flitting from one shadow to the next, trying hard to remain out of sight in case anyone else decided to enter the core for some inexplicable reason at this hour. Their face and body were hidden under a dark cloak that they kept tightly shut around themselves. They paused to take a few steadying breaths, preparing themselves to continue their attempt to flee unnoticed. Suddenly another sound could be heard, a small whine and a hiccup came from under the figures robe.
Startled, the shadow froze for a moment. When the moment passed they shifted their cloak aside to look at what lay underneath. "We're almost there. It won't be long now, I promise kiddo. I just need you to stay quiet a little longer" the dark figure whispered to the bundle in his arms, rubbing the little ones back. The small bundle squirmed and whimpered more, sniffling and squeaking unhappily. Once the bundle was settled again the robed figure let out a small sigh of relief. Suddenly a sound coming from behind them caused the mysterious person to tense and glance back. Shock and dread filled him as his fear became reality, the one person he didn't want to find them had realized they were gone and had come after them.
"Sans stop, bring him back this instant. We cannot complete the experiment without him" The figure following him spoke, the words distorted and watery "Do not make me use force, for the good of monster kind I will not hesitate to do so".
"This isn't right and you know it _! I won't let you do this to him!" the smaller one said defiantly, holding his bundle tightly to his chest and making the one within it fuss again "There's another way, there has to be! I won't believe that the only way to free everyone is to… I won't let this happen, even if it means doing something I know I'll regret… I'm sorry _". A cyan and yellow glow shown from under the dark cover of the cloak's hood, a hand leaving the cover of the cloak was also encased in a glowing cyan light. The eyes of the figure that followed them also began to glow, one orange and one cyan. Both figures materialized a large skull like being, each one charging a blast within its maw the colors of its respective caster's magic. With a loud buzzing sound both blasts were released, connecting in the space between the two figures, lighting up the area surrounding them.
The light illuminated both individuals and caused the hood to fly off the smaller one's head; revealing his skeletal features. The two beams could not continue their connection and became destabilized; creating an explosion that knocked both casters back. The taller of the two was pushed towards the edge of the catwalk and his foot slipped off as he lost his balance, his distorted cry echoing around the core as he disappeared into the abyss below. The shorter skeleton was knocked onto his back, a stray bit of the blast having struck his right eye socket.
Sans jolted awake, the terrified cries of a baby and the distant scream of his opponent still ringing in his non-existent ears as he tried to catch his breath. His hand came up to cover the eye socket that had been struck, feeling for damage that was not there. "Just a dream… it was just a dream" he murmured lowly as he cast his eye lights about his room, the shadows seeming more sinister than need be. He sighed and shook his skull, rubbing his tired eye sockets "Yeah… just a dream alright… heh, if only that were the case… damn, come on you bone head, get yourself together. Guess I should get ready for the day… ugh I don't want to get out of bed, I'm so bone tired it's not even funny… heh heh *sigh*".
