Chapter three
Stage three
Bzzzt! Bzzzt!
Grumbling, Sans answered his phone. " who the hell calls at this time of night," he said, his voice barely audible. Looking at the caller id, he began to listen to the Royal Pain.
" S-sans, are you f-feeling odd by any chance? Y-y'know, like tired than usual?"
"... Oh, I-I forgot about you n-not being able to be audible, but could you come over to the lab?"
She hung up, and Sans plopped down on the floor. He did not want to get up, and he really did not want to walk all the way to hotland. But, it had to be done.
Sort of like midterms.
He got out of his room, not bothering to grab his jacket. He had to get out quietly, or else his brother would catch him. He was halfway out of waterfall when he noticed something odd. He had peered down to the luminous blue water, and backed away in shock. His usually red eye had grown dimmer, almost to the point where it blended with his black eye sockets. At that moment, Sans knew he was screwed.
He quickly arrived at Alphys' lab, only to see no trace of the young scientist. He went towards a door that looked like a personal bathroom. On the door was a note.
Sans,
I am at the bottom floor of my lab. This door leads to an elevator
Pocketing the note, Sans went to the bottom floor, per Alpys' instruction. He had seen the amalgamates, but Alphys had threatened to blackmail him if he ever told a living soul. It's not like he cared or anything, he didn't want his brother to kill him for allowing Alphys to blackmail him.
After taking several wrong turns, he finally found Alphys. Next to her was a hospital bed with an occupant, a surgical lamp, and a tray table with several instruments. Her back was turned, and she seemed to be very busy on her subject.
"Ah, I see t-that you have arrived.," she said, turning towards him. " H-holy hell, y-you look terrible!," she grinned, and Sans just rolled his eyes. " Anyways, remember when I was y-younger, I always w-wanted to make a S-SOUL powered robot?," she said, turning back to her work. " All I n-need is the Soul of a B-boss monster…," she trailed off.
"what does that have to do with me?," Sans whispered hoarsely. Alphys looked at him with a crazed expression. " Isn't it obvious? I need your Soul."
Sans backed away in shock. "what do you mean, my SOUL?"
"Did I fucking stutter? I need your SOUL."
Sans subconciuosly put his hand over his chest. "what are you going to do, kill me right now?," he growled, and Alphys shook her head. "Oh, n-no! I-i am simply going to wait until you die!," she said in a sickening cheery attitude. "Y-you see, once you die, I'm g-going to take your SOUL once your body falls apart, a-and use it in m-my experiment!," she said, and Sans looked at her in confusion.
" how are you even going to get my SOUL and contain it? Monsters can't absorb each other's SOULs."
" Simple! I just use a SOUL c-canister!," she said. Sans looked at her in confusion. " aren't those used for human SOULs?," he said skeptically, and Alphys rolled her eyes. " I w-wouldn't use it if I didn't t-test it first!," she said, revealing another canister underneath the bed. Inside was a glowing white SOUL that looked like it was half a second away from oblivion. " D-do you know how hard it is to c-catch a SOUL from a normal monster?," she said darkly.
"...fairly hard?"
Alphys face palmed. " Okay wise guy, I need to know where you plan on dying.," she said impatiently.
Soon, they have arrived at the secret place in Snowdin. Alphys looked at the pile of items, and picked up the Quantum Physic/joke book. " S-seriously?," she said, and put it down as Sans shrugged.
Alphys took the canister, and set it beside the pile. " Okay, when you are about to, er, die, uh c-call me…," she said, and laughed. " Wow, that sounded morbid.," she said. Suddenly, her phone started ringing. " Oh, g-goodness…," she said, and looked at the caller ID. "Oh g-goodness! It's Papyrus!," she screamed, and picked up.
" H-hello?," her voice hitched in panic. " ALPHYS, WHERE IS SANS? I TRIED TO FIND HIM, BUT HE LEFT SOMETIME EARLY IN THE MORNING, SURPRISINGLY, I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW HE COULD WAKE UP THAT EARLY...BUT ANYWAYS, HE LEFT HIS JACKET AND PHONE AT HOME, AND I WAS WONDERING IF HE WAS WITH YOU.," his voice could be heard by the both of them, and it wasn't even on speaker.
Alphys looked at Sans, who rapidly shook his head. " Er, n-no, S-sans isn't with me, I'llcallyouwhenIseehimBYE.," she said rapidly, and promptly hung up.
"well, isn't that suspicious.," Sans muttered. Alphys facepalmed the facepalm of all facepalms.
" UGH… Y-you could stay at the lab..," she grumbled.
A/N: And end scene! Wow, i like how that went, let's post it!
Alphys: Can I take t-this make up off? It's i-irritating my scales…
Red: ugh, im going on a lunch break * leaves*
