UnderTale : Virtual-X
Introduction : Duality
Sans' P.O.V.
Sounds of footsteps are coming from the entrance. Heh, to be honest, I don't even feel like having a chill course through my spine. I'm so used to it by now, it's become a leisure.
Well. If dying can be seen as a leisure, that is.
Their figure slowly reveal behind the pillars. Wearing my brightest grin, and walking up to them slowly, I raise my voice so that he could hear me.
« Well. You took long enough kid. What, you made a stop somewhere ? Maybe in my shack- oh wait, no. You couldn't get the key, since they went off with it. » I grinned ever so widely, seeing their frustrated face, then noticed the scars along their arms. Weird. Didn't they reset or heal to get that off them ?
« What exactly do you think you're doing ? You think you can beat me oh-so easily now?- »
- « For some remains, you speak a lot. » Clearly, they seemed irritated themself about these scars. Never did they really raise their voice to me, or any other monster. How laughable, to think they could look polite while killing. I hold back some chuckles imagining the kid asking in-between two blinks of their bright yellow eyes : 'Can I kill you pleaseeeee ?'
« I don't like that smug grin of yours... » And here he goes interrupting my happy thoughts. Tch.
- « Well, you know what they say. No better way to be more confident than imagining your enemy naked. »
They raised their eyebrow, confused at what I said. « I believe the expression is : '-Your audience naked.' »
« Hehe… Yeah… But you see- » The whole corridor, bathed in light, falls silent as I let my left eye to light up. « -You did not leave me with much of an audience. »
Understanding this would be the last words they could get from me, they immediately got ready, as the start of this unbalanced fight rang.
Oh, look at them. With their soulless yellow eyes, pale skin, dark hair hiding their eyes from time to time, almost making the light from them look like flashlights with which a kid would play to hide the light periodically with a hand.
Their grin. Wide as the hall itself. Their laugh, sounding like cackling from these stereotypical bad guys in Paps' books.
Heh… Paps…
What would you want from me, right now.. ?
Sans'(?) P.O.V.
Loud stumps are coming from behind the pillars. I could hear them take deep breaths before entering, as if they were about to face the world.
Well. They're half-right, too. After all… They will decide of our destiny.
And here they are, looking around, seeming stressed. I understand them, in a way. You don't face a King that wages war on your kind everyday, do you ? They're holding a worn and rusty dagger like it was some kind of virus about to spread into their body.
And yet again, technically, I hope for them they got a cure for tethanos.
They seem to slow down, as they start to hear the sound of the birds singing, and having their face bathed in light. I always wondered how they could see anything through their closed eyes… That being said. They are quite close from the pillar I'm behind, now. As they turn to the window, I quickly step out to the middle, and wait for them to see me. Makes a good impression.
When they saw me, their eyes… widened ? I mean, they're closed but, their eyebrows went upwards, as they pushed a tiny gasp…
Heh. This kid's logic will be the death of me.
« So. You've finally arrived... In a few moments, you will meet the king. With you two, and the brawl about to unfold… you shall decide of our fate. Monsters. Humans. Everyone. But before… »
The great bell in the castle ringed. 3 times.
« It's time for you to be judged. For your every actions down here. »
I had to hold back a smile seeing what numbers were surrounding the kid's 'Life Bar.'
LOVE : 1 EXP : 0.
« Do you know about EXP ? It's an Acronym, standing for EXecution Points. The more you hurt people, the more EXP you gain. LOVE, too, is an acronym. It stands for : Level Of ViolencE. A way to quantify someone's capacity to hurt... »
Seeing their intimidated expression, reminding me of the time I told them about my promise to the old lady… I decided to step out of the shadow covering me, and smile heartfully at the kid. They don't deserve to be scared to death. But to be congratulated.
« ...But you. You didn't gain any EXP, nor LOVE. You did not hurt anyone, no matter how hard the times, the fights were. You always tried to help your enemies, bearing a smile even under their hits... It's really… touching, kid. »
I saw their face brighten. I let out a sigh of relief, since I did not scare them for the rest of their life.
« Kid… You're going to fight against the king now. You know what it implies… If he wins, we shall be free with your SOUL. If you win, then you'll have to absorb his SOUL. And as for us, well… » I shook my head, smiling still. I did not feel up to smile, but… I did not want them to go there with my heartache.
« Don't feel bad for us, okay ? Whatever you do… Know that I'm rooting for you, kid. And with that… Good luck... »
I look at them one last time, sighing as I was about to take a quick shortcut.
Oh, look at them, with their worried traits. The face of a child that wouldn't even hurt a fly, stressed just by the thought of having to fight the King. Their eyes remaining closed, their hair in a mess from all they've been through down here. They make me think of one of these heroes Paps looks up to when I read him stories…
Heh, Paps…
...Please let them remain like this…
