You feel like you're gonna have a tough time.
ACT - Check - Sans
Sans : 1 atk . 1 def
The easiest enemy. Can only
deal 1 damage... multiple times.
Doesn't want you to ACT nicely
but don't lose hope!
Sans :
you know...
i sorta liked hanging out an' all.
but deep down...
i always wanted to skin you.
Sans :
our reports showed a massive
anomaly in the timespace
continuum.
timelines jumping left and right,
stopping and starting...
until suddenly, everything ends.
Sans :
heh heh heh...
who could it be ?
Sans :
some universes lasted longer
than others, but every single one
vanished sooner or later.
that's what you are,
why don't you admit it ?
Sans :
the humans who came down
here before were more...
stereotypical.
Sans :
but you ? you're more subtle.
Sans :
the last thing we need is to
grab on to a false hope from
a lying punk.
that'd be too pathetic to watch.
Sans' eyes return to black, now is the time. For this turn, Frisk and Asriel get close and try to get in a few words, a smile, a friendly pat. Sans denies them.
Sans :
look at yourself. ACTing as if
you never even hurt a fly.
one day, you'll get bored and
change tactics.
Asriel :
You don't know that!
Frisk, don't let him get to you.
You have to keep trying!
Your friend protects you from some attacks, his dedication fills you with determination.
Sans :
you don't know how it feels...
Sans :
knowing that our "savior's"
every act of kindness...
is just a notch on a belt,
before everything ends.
Sans :
pretty damn twisted, don't
you think ?
Sans has dropped his barrier. Frisk can ACT freely now. Sans is told how Frisk and Asriel really want to save the monsters. That they will not let whatever horrible thing he mentioned happen. Sans acts as if he didn't hear any of that.
Sans :
why don't i try to help ?
if the timelines are getting
erased ?
heh... the humans die and
we are free from pain.
win-win if you ask me.
Sans :
and then, there's the fact that
no matter what we do, there's
gonna be a reset.
Sans :
even if all went well, even if
everyone was happy...
we'll just get back here without
being able to remember the
good times. so what's the point ?
Sans let's his guard down, as punctual as a clock. Promises are made, Frisk and Asriel do their best to convince the skeleton all will be well. Sans doesn't emote at all.
Sans :
knowing this makes it kinda hard
to give it my all...
Sans :
heh... or am i just using that as an
excuse to be lazy ?
hell if i know...
Sans :
that being said... you really
like to avoid dying, huh ?
safe to say, you had some practice.
Sans :
me, i can safely say how i hate
your guts.
so give up and show'em.
Once again, there's an opening. Sans begins to sweat a little more than usual. Could it be ?
Sans :
bah... you can't dodge forever.
Sans :
...
Sans :
you freak...
The red eye disappears. Sans look flustered.
a-alright... knock it off.
enough with the ACTs.
i can't kill you.
and you won't kill me.
this is useless.
Sans's eyes become white, normal. Asriel and Frisk are hopeful.
Sans :
i don't know what to think...
will you really let it all end well.
a true happy ending ?
i've been suffering for so long.
all the sorrow, all the despair.
can i truly let them go ?
oblivion feels like an old friend
now... but...
maybe i'm wrong.
even if you were lying, there is a real
chance of peace.
it'd be worth a shot.
one light in the dark, ya know ?
what do you think ?
Frisk makes his choice.
Sans :
alright, then. c'mere pal.
A jail of bones surrounds the poor soul.
Asriel : shocked
You... Smiley poop-face!
It takes half a second for Frisk's hearty shape to shatter.
Sans : GAME OVER screen :
eat dirt and die !
if you're done joking around,
you won't play nice anymore.
-~o~-
Frisk can keep going, filled with dreams and hopes.
Sans :
hmm... That expression...
you died twice in a row ?
geez, that's harsh bucko.
but hey, third time's the charm.
They battle. They reach the bargaining bit. Frisk doesn't ACT this turn.
Sans :
what's the matter ?
if you wanna ACT your way into
my soul, now's the time.
Frisk SPAREs Sans.
Sans :
welp... i never was a good actor.
but thanks for the breather, kid.
it's plain obvious, but, until now...
i was dropping my guard on purpose.
let me try a little bit harder now.
The true battle finally begins. If Sans is killed, Asgore won't listen to the two heroes. There won't be a happy ending. If Sans keeps killing Frisk, they won't complete their goal. And this smiling demon doesn't want to negotiate it seems. How will they resolve this conflict ?
