Experiment 25-21-6-15

Mental Prompt: A few years back, I wrote a story about a human with a monster SOUL falling into the underground along with Frisk. This is going to be, well… I suppose a reboot of that, with more backstory and lore. It answers a few questions even I had about the series. Such as how a Human got ahold of a Monster's SOUL. Or how powerful that fusion can even be.

Prologue: Doctor's Notes

They're written in strange symbols… Signed at the bottom with WD Gaster in the font Aster.

There's another set of notes on the back. Written in hand print, thank god. Signed at the bottom in something burned away… "Dr. &$&$*%&$ Yugo"

Handwritten Notes: This experiment… it's unethical to the extreme, but… It could help find a way to reunite Monsters and Humans, especially those who have been separated because of the war. Each of us could be executed by our respective sides. But, having a neutral party in the war, stronger than what anyone could imagine… It might scare both sides into having a treaty. It also could scare both sides into killing off the other… This could go wrong in so many ways, but I just hope it works out right.

Day 1

I've donated one of my own eggs, unfertilized, so I do suppose I'll be a mother within the coming months. Dr. Gaster materialized his magical DNA into a sperm-like object. We both witness the sperm and egg fusing. Yeah, I'll admit, we both jumped up and down for joy. Though, within the first few minutes, we were already getting massive readings on both spectrums we were testing for. DT and MP. DETERMINATION and MAGICAL POTENTIAL. So, it's most definitely human, and probably just a mage child, at this point at least. Mage children have the highest DT and MP readings out of everything, but… These readings were high, even for mage children. Especially coming from two people more geared towards knowledge instead of fighting.

Day 7

The blastocyst is dividing and growing at an amazing rate, and it's shocking to see how far it grows from day to day. I probably should call it an embryo at this point, it's just natural to call something so young from an x-ray standpoint a blastocyst. [Burned blackened scrawls cover the page]

Day 14

We recovered the embryo, as well as some scanners. The glass case we had to move it to is somehow constantly kept warm, as if this baby's MP and DT are maturing it. That might be why it has organs, already. Dr. Gaster commented that the baby embryo's bone density is much higher than that of a human's, or even a normal skeletal monster. The muscular structure, density, and strength, is modified proportionately to this. The embryo looks almost fourteen weeks old, which means that the speed of this "pregnancy" is probably seven times normal. Doctor Gaster and I are going to have to split away, however… and he proposed that I should take the child. I politely refused the offer… I do not wish for this child, even if it is mine. I do, however want to keep studying the child. Which means, I shall be a human within Mount Ebott, hiding in secret. That fact is weighty, yet true, especially with King Mardore's public execution in front of Mt. Ebott before the monsters were forced in.

Day 20

I'm heavily injured, lying in a water filled cave with this warm glass cube with a baby inside. I cry, mainly from the wounds I gathered trying to get in this god-forsaken place… Whenever I cry, though, the baby's skeleton glows several colors, and my tears go away. I scanned the baby this morning, and the DT and MP scanners both exploded from a major overload. Whatever this baby is… It's a monstrosity. Gaster checks on me now and again, healing my wounds to the best of his ability. Seems neither him or the baby can accurately heal my wounds, though. Each day, the wounds look the same as ever, even with the pain relief the baby gives me, and the healing magic that Gaster provides.

Day 30

My vision's gone fuzzy. I can't focus on things often. Something's not right on the inside of me. But the baby's doing fine. ...He opened his eyes. I know it's a he, now, since he's thirty "weeks" developed. He stares at me often, and the black of his eyes against the white of his pupils is… unsettling. He has bright blue irises, and he motions to me every so often, so I talk to him. He waves, he clenches his fists, he even claps. It's amusing… and it's… the only thing I have strength for other than writing.

[This day is written in a poor scrawl, like that of a kindergartner.]

Day 50

She's dead. There was something I didn't catch, something I blame myself for… The guards must've hit her head when she was trying to get into the Mountain… Why the guards were there, probably so the human savages could round up more Monsters to shove in this stupid Mountain… But… My colleague and friend, Dr. A. Yugo, has now passed on. I have no idea of what to call this child… so I suppose I may call him Yugo, if I ever see him again. I scanned his SOUL at my primitive workshop, and his Monster and Human halves were in perfect sync. Though, he apparently unwittingly absorbed his mother's SOUL. I had to put him in my crude stasis pod… He's essentially a frozen hybrid. I just hope no-one comes across my hidden brick room in Home.

Year 2 Day 1

One year from the experiment starting, and I've come back to check on him. He looks… a month old. It seems that his MP and DT are reacting with the stasis pod… I suppose that each year I leave him in here may be a month. Though, I did adjust some things now… By increasing the stasis polarity, hopefully I've bought myself even more time. I don't want him to be discovered at all, but I want him to live a decent life, too… I suppose it's what the humans would've called a Catch-22.

Hopefully… He'll be able to see the sun when he wakes up.
