Yes, yes, I should be working on Lies Over Truth, but I have so many story ideas
I apologize so much (not really, this is a good story idea)
enjoy children because i did
Sans was absolutely terrified.
Papyrus didn't wake up today. He didn't wake up yesterday, either. They had both heard about the monsters that were falling down, but.. Why wasn't it me? Sans wondered, staring at Papyrus, tears falling onto the red scarf. There had to be a way to save him, it couldn't just be like this forever, Sans awake, Papyrus forever asleep. It didn't make sense. Why was this happening? Was it due to another timeline? If that were the case, why wasn't everyone comatose?
Nothing was making sense. Why would anyone fall down? It shouldn't have been happening at all, even if it was happening in all of the timelines. It made Sans angry. He almost did something.. cowardly. But, he gave the scarf back to Papyrus.
He, formally being a scientist before Alphys became the royal scientist, attempted to figure out a way to wake Papyrus back up. First, he joked around, making all of the horrible skeleton puns he could ever make. It didn't work. Then, he went to the scientific part, trying to come up with a solution, an injection maybe, that could be directly put into the soul.
Nothing he did worked.
Then, after a long week, while walking through Snowdin and Waterfall, he heard information from someone.. something. Doctor Alphys, the royal scientist, was apparently working on a cure for the monsters that went comatose. I-I can save him! Papyrus, you're going to be okay! For once, in a long, long time, Sans was relieved, crying of joy.
But, for some reason, Sans couldn't help but stay back, and not immediately rush to Alphys's aid. He stayed there for a few days, waiting. "I-If this is a joke, Pap, it's not funny. You don't make jokes like this."
Then, while walking again, he heard from the same voice, in Waterfall this time. Doctor Alphys was working on an injection, as well, and she finally found a solution. It felt as if a weight was lifted off Sans's shoulders. He rushed back to Snowdin, picked up his phone, and called up the Doctor.
"U-Uh, hello? Wh.. How did you get this n-number?" The stuttering voice was so familiar to Sans, but it still sounded different. Probably from all of the stress, Sans thought.
"Hey, uh, Alphys. It's Sans. This is pretty urgent, so sorry if I'm interrupting on anything," Sans quickly paused to pick up Papyrus. He ignored the weight of his brother, and began to walk outside of his house. "I, uh, something's really wrong. It's been a few weeks and I tried to think up somethin' to make it work, but nothing happened. I'm losing my science touch. Heh.." He was already to Waterfall.
"S-Sans? A.. C-calm d-down. What's wrong? A-Are you and your brother o-okay?" Alphys's voice cracked, but she ignored it, waiting for the reply. It came quickly.
"That's.. the thing." Sans was glad the flying duck was on his side today, and it flew him over to the over side. "I.. huff.. Papyrus.. ain't doing too.. huff.. well.." The skeleton tried to adjust his grip on the phone, but just didn't care.
"Wh-what do you mean by... 'not doing so well'?" There was a silence on the other end, until finally, "O-oh god. Oh no. I-Is he okay? Please.. tell me he's-"
"I heard that you had a solution to all of the monsters that went and fell down."
"Wh-what? How did you-" Alphys interrupted herself, but quickly continued, "W-well, yes, I am working on a solution, but-"
"Oh, thank god.. As long as I'm not.. huff.. interrupting anything on your.. schedule.. Can I.. uh.. get your help?" Sans panted, walking to the laboratory right in front of him. It took shorter than expected to get there. No wonder he was so tired.
"Well.. yeah, I'm open." She paused the episode of Mew Mew Kissy Cutie 2, sort of glad she didn't have to watch it anymore. "Where are y-you?"
"Alphys.. ALPHYS!" Sans slammed his free hand on the door, and heard a robotic voice, a reply from Alphys, then the door opened with Undernet's sensation, Mettaton. "Sans, darling, hand me Papyrus, please." The robot calmly said, extending both of his hands, and, after a few seconds of tension, Sans finally gave up, giving his brother to the famous robot. "Thank you. Alphys! Sans is here with his.. brother!"
"Wh-What!? Here already!?" Alphys thought it was someone else at the door, but quickly rushed down to greet Sans. She rushed to the road leading downstairs, but quickly regretted the feat, as she saw.. "Oh.. o-oh god, Sans, how long?"
"Week. Been like that for a week. I tried to cook up a solution to this, but it never worked." Sans mumbled. "You see what I mean by urgent? I- I need you to help him. I know I'm usually a funny guy, but I'm.. I'm bein' serious, here. I know that you're doing something, you need to help him- You need to help me.. Please-"
"N-no."
The silence in the laboratory was almost deafening. A single word caused all of this silence, because Alphys knew that the experiments wouldn't work on Papyrus. If she did anything, like inject Determination into his soul, it wouldn't work. The Royal Scientist looked away as tears began to fall out of Sans's eyesockets. Then, after almost five minutes of deathly silence, Sans went into a fiery blue rage.
"if YoU don't helP, then i'll do it mYSelf.." Sans's eyes flashed blue, and the labratory became a bigger mess than it already was. "S-Sans, stop! I- You don't know what you're doing!" Alphys screamed at the top of her lungs, while Mettaton was thrown into the tornado of a mess. Even his weight couldn't withstand Sans's rage. "wheRe iS it!? i know YoU have some sort of-"
That was all Alphys had heard, until she ran back up to her room. Sans, fortunately, was looking in the wrong places. I'm sorry Sans, but you can't save Papyrus, yet.. I need to hide the injections.. Damn it.. Where? I.. I don't have much time until he comes up here... and Mettaton.. She could easily hear all of the commotion going downstairs.
Mettaton's voice, Sans screaming, tearing of important documents and papers, the screen which showed her all of the cameras hooked up around the Underground, and all of the other things flying everywhere. Alphys knew she didn't have enough time. Since Sans was such a quick searcher, and there wasn't much stuff down there, it wouldn't be much more until he finally got up to her room.
"alphYYYYYSSSSSS.." Sans echoed through the laboratory, and, before Alphys could react, since all of the injections were in a suitcase she was holding, tried to hide the case again. "i knew YoU had something." Sans's grin widened, as he threw himself up to her room, flinging the suitcase out of Alphys's arms.
"Sans! N-No, you can't.. Don't use the injections! I- They WON'T work!" The scientist screamed, but Sans couldn't hear her. He rushed back down to where Papyrus was laying, and forcefully opened the suitcase.
"P-PAP, we'Re fine, YoUR'e going to be okaY." Sans murmured, ripping his brother's shirt open in a panic. Papyrus's soul was a fiery orange, the complete opposite of Sans's soul, which was an ice cold blue. Taking one of the syringes, he inserted it into Papyrus's soul.
"S-Sans, no.. Why did you- It.."
"I'm not letting Papyrus go alone." Sans mumbled, lifting up his own shirt. He took another one of the needles, and shoved it into his soul. He only grunted in pain, almost stopping when he felt the liquid forced into his soul.
"A.. Oh.. God.. N-no.. S-Sans, you knew that i-it.. b-but you s-still.." Alphys stuttered. There was no reply. "S-Sans? H-how are you.. feeling?"
"I.. a little weird, shaky, but I'm okay. I think." Sans looked away from his brother, up to Alphys. "What was that stuff?"
"D-Determination. It's the thing that keeps human souls persisting after death. I.. there.. I created.. I, uh.. found a way to re-create it... Oh.. god. Where's Mettaton!?" Alphys panicked, but only momentarily, until there was someone behind her, black hair(?), fancy outfit, arms..
Legs.
"M-Mettaton!? Oh.. n-no, your switch got turned again." Alphys stuttered, trying to get the robot to turn around.
"Alphys, darling, I'm fine. It's the perfect opportunity to see how the new body is working, anyways." Mettaton hummed, smiling. But his eye quickly widened in surprise, and his smile turned into a straight face. "Sans.. my dear.. you should turn around."
"Wowie! Is THAT Mettaton!? I can't believe I'm meeting THE Mettaton!"
MY HEART IS HURTING. VERY BADLY.
Also, if you got it, good job, I only capitalized the letters in Papyrus's name ;D
Next chapter soon(?)
Don't think about it much, like Undertale's Hard mode.
