Sans P.O.V
I was sleeping on my couch, but all of a sudden I felt like I was falling. I tried to reach for something, but I couldn't find anything.
"SAnS... SanS, plEasE..." I opened my eyes in a completely dark place, yet I could still see my hands as if there was a light on. I looked at my hands and they had gaping holes in the palms.
"w-what the fu-?!"
"SAns..." I heard my name being called but I couldn't see anything but my black surroundings that seemed to be getting darker each second. "Don'T foRget mE... R-RememBer..." It sounded so glitched and scratched. I never heard anything like it yet it sounded so familiar.
"SANS!" I turned around and saw Papyrus. He looked younger, a few feet smaller than what he already was. He had bright yellow tears in his sockets and he was panting as if he ran for miles. "SOMETHING HAPPENED AT THE CORE! W-WE NEED TO GET THERE NOW- WE NEED TO SEE IF DAD'S OKAY! THEY WONT LET ME IN THE CORE, HELP ME!" I was hit with an emotion of fear and drowsiness and I didn't know why... Papyrus suddenly vanished with a black figure in his place.
"...Please..." I heard him sniffle and start to sob while he feel to his knees. "D-Don't forget me..." His voice wasn't glitchy like the one I heard before... he sounded like...
"...dad?" He didn't notice me as he cried more, shedding green tears that seemed to fall into nothingness. I walked over to him and was hesitant to put a hand on his shoulder. "...d... dad?" I got the courage to touch his shoulder and he flinched as he turned around. He was worse than when I last remember seeing him... The cracks on his face we're worse and more gaped opened with smaller cracks stretching out to the rest of his skull. He had his hands over his mouth, which had holes like the one's that we're in my hand's earlier.
"Sans..?" his voice was full with disbelief and he started to shed more fresh tears. "S-Sans, please say it's you..." I just nodded my head and he hugged me like I was gonna fade at any instant. All I could do was hug him back... "How are we... I-It worked?" He felt real. I could feel his spine through his coat and his tears falling on my jacket. He was going to say something else before I started crying too.
"w-where are you..?" He just sighed and hugged me tighter before he got up. He was a little taller than me, but from what I could tell, not as tall as Papyrus.
"You remember... Y-You have no idea how relieved I am to hear... t-to see that... What about your brother?" He face was full of concern yet had hope, and his tears weren't stopping.
"...he remembers... we... heh, we watch your science logs every week to make sure we wouldn't forget like other people did... there are rare moments we remember things that happened before the... y-you know." I felt tears sting remembering the day he disappeared. Something caused the Core to over heat and get a magic power overload. "...w-what happened at the core that day?" I heard Dad sigh as he rubbed his head with a tired look on his face. "i wanna know..."
"...I wish not to speak of the event... But I will tell you, it had nothing to do with your section of the Core." He fell into the section of the Core I spent a month re-fixing. I was so happy he offered me to try since I actually wanted to join the royal scientists, even though I was way too young at the time. I heard something like wind behind me and when I turned I saw Papyrus, Dad and me sitting at the table back in the Underground.
"Think of it like a job application! If you can fix this small section of the Core-"
"you call that small?!"
"COMPARED TO THE REST OF THE CORE, IT'S AN ANT!"
"I'd say a dust mite... So, Sans, what do you say?"
"...i'm in!" Then it vanished... It was almost like-
"...I fell in... that caused the overload..." I was shaken from my thoughts as I heard Dad say that.
"h-... how did you fall in like that? bone fragments and cuts we're on the edg-" I looked at his hands and he saw where I was looking. "h-how did those hap-" All of a sudden I heard a loud bang as our surroundings stopped getting darker and got brighter to the point I had to shield my sockets.
"Sans... Sans?" I woke up and almost screamed until I realized it was just Toriel. "Sans, calm down! It's alright, I swear." I looked around and noticed that the only light that was coming in the house was from the windows and the front door's entrance with the door lying on the floor. "I-I knocked on the door but it just fell! Did Undyne come over or-?"
"n-no- i mean yes- uh- i gotta go tori, just prop the door against the entrance please!" I ran out before she could say anything else. I need to talk to DJ.
DJ P.O.V
"AND I WIN AGAIN!" Clyde yelled at the top of his lungs.
"YOU FREAKIN' CHEATER!"
"Aw, stop pouting and eat your mike n ike's." Clyde shook the box in my face as I threw a snickers bar at his shoulder. "POOR SPORT!" We both started laughing like crazy before the power went out. "What just happened?" I looked outside and saw the sky was completely full of dark clouds with some lighting striking with thunder following close after.
"I guess the summer storms finally came..." I was actually waiting for the storms to start. I was happy, now not having to worry about flooding in my old den... even though that never happened with the sewer grate that was on the 'ceiling'.
"No..." Clyde exaggerated a sigh as he sat up and shook a bag of skittles, hearing half of the bag make noise. "I should run back to my place. Want the rest of my skittles?" I nodded as he got up then fell down. "MY FOOT FELL ASLEEP!" I started laughing as my door knocked.
"Pick up the skittles that lost their lives because of you."
"I'M SORRY!" We were kinda on a sugar high, and it's the best thing ever. I could never get on a sugar high before and it's freakin' hilarious. I opened the door after I calmed down from laughing and I saw Sans and he looked like he ran a mile.
"You okay Sans? Why didn't you just teleport or-"
"YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT?!" Clyde managed to get up again and he just looked at me until he caught sight of Sans.
"Yeah I-"
"dj, we need to talk." I looked back at Sans and his socket had a faint cyan glow in it with his white pinpricks.
"I... We'll hangout again... next week?" I looked back at Clyde, seeing he was looking at the same thing and I nodded. He waved goodbye to the both of us as he left and I let Sans inside. Sans sat on the couch as I went turn everything off, then remembered the power just went out.
"...um... w-when you we're in the ER... what was that thing you did to talk to us?" I sat down confused until I remembered how I manage to talk to him and Pap when they slept.
"I... dunno the complicated stuff of how I managed to do it... Flowey said that I could do since since I managed to... 'get my mind back in control.'.. I haven't used it since... I kinda forgot how to use it, actually... kinda sucks." I scratched my skull seeing Sans socket's are just voids of darkness. "...Why you askin'?"
".. you know how I told you about dad? and how he fell into the core a long time ago?" I nodded as his socket's turned back to normal. "he's not dead." I looked back at Sans, seeing a ghost of a smile on his face as he explained.
"...What?"
"h-he's not dead! he did t-the thing you did! i was asleep on the couch an i was in this- this huge dark place! It felt as real as the time you talked to me and pap-!" He was talking a mile a minute, pacing back and forth.
"H-How did he know how to do it?"
"i dunno! he didn't say or any- no time!" He stopped pacing and put his hands on my shoulder's with the most determined face I've seen on anyone. "you have to try and remember how to do it again... it may help bring him back." I didn't even hesitate to nod. He just released a breath it seemed he was holding for a while.
"What? You thought I was gonna say no?" I laughed as he gave a nervous chuckle as he put his hands in his hoodie pockets.
"well... you did so much for us already..." Chara popped into my head when he said that. I still remember the look on her face when I got in the way of her attack... She was furious, scared that she was trapped in Underfell because everyone wouldn't fear her, instead just agree with her. Not to mention Sans destroyed the artifact so nothing could come into our multiverse ever again. "...so much... for me, already... hasn't even been half a year and i think of you a sister- pap too..." I just sighed as I hugged him. "..."
"Dude... I'm still trying to get even with everything you boneheads done for me." He pulled from the hug with confusion spread all over his face. "What?.. It's the truth... You, Pap, Frisk, Tori, e-even Drake for crying out loud! Everyone... If it wasn't for you guys... I wouldn't have a family again, and a family helps each other no matter what come their way." I felt tears stinging my sockets, but it was the truth... Sans sighed and patted my shoulder with a huge smile.
"no doubt about it... don't ever forget it."
Sans left when Papyrus called saying he had to leave work because of the power outage. Sans said he would tell Papyrus about what happened when they get back from the store to get a new door. It's been about half an hour since. I tried to sleep.. attempting to find him... but I just ended up dreaming about me spitting xenomorph acid on Clyde's nice cream stand when he wasn't looking.. I really forgot how to do it... It's been a few months since it happened and I haven't used the ability since... There wasn't really a reason to use it until now.
I sighed as I got up, noting that the power came back on. I looked outside, seeing the moon and decided that I shouldn't sleep on the couch. I didn't even change my clothes when I got into bed, I just took off my glasses and cloak while tossing my shoes to the other side of the room. I jumped on my bed, instantly regretting ti when I landed on my journal. I just grunted as I tossed it on the floor and turned to the wall, seeing some of my pictures I drew over the years and the picture Puffy left when he went back home.
I woke up in my village. Everything looked the same like it was before the war started. I looked up in the sky, seeing bright yellow stars... ".. HOLY SHIT I'M BACK IN HERE!" I was back in my mind like when I was in the ER. I went into my old home, seeing the gem sitting on the floor. I walked out of the house and looked around, seeing the colors of the stars. "...wait... When I'm in here, the stars are brown... who-?"
"UGH... NEVER EAT TACOS WITH MUFFET'S HONEY..." I turned around and saw someone I'd never thought I'd see again...
"Puffy?!" He turned around and he rubbed his sockets in disbelief.
"..K-KID? WHERE ARE WE? IT LOOKS LIKE THE SURFACE... BUT OLDER- WHERE'S THE HUGE BUILDINGS?!" I ran over to him as he gave me a confuse look to where he was.
"Uh... How about we say it's a long story I'm too lazy to explain?"
"...CAN'T SAY NO TO THAT." He shrugged as he pulled out a cigarette and lights it with a lighter as he looked around. "AT LEAST TELL ME HOW I'M HERE... THAT SHOULDN'T TAKE MUCH WORK RIGHT?" I just shrugged, making him laugh with his mouth shut so he wouldn't lose his cigarette through his teeth. "LAST THING I REMEMBER WAS SLEEPING ON THE COUCH WHEN SANS LEFT TO CHAT WITH ALPHYS ABOUT THEIR NEW SURFACE JOBS AND JUNK."
"I was trying to talk to someone else... Maybe when I looked at your picture before I went to bed did something? That's a way for it to work I guess." Puffy gave a nod as he looked around more, not taking his eye off the building that was my old home before the war. " Or maybe the fact you we're asl-...What are you looking at?"
"HUH? OH, I'VE SEEN THIS HOUSE IN DEJA'S DRAWING'S."
"...Deja?"
"THAT'S WHAT ME AND SANS CALL YOU IN OUR WORLD... OH NO..." He was looking around at something I couldn't see or hear. "UM... SANS IS TRYING TO WAKE ME UP... I HAVE TO GO NOW, UM-"
"Get. It was nice seeing ya again though. If they believe you, tell Sans and 'Deja' I said hi." I gave a small wave as he suddenly shattered into small gem shards and vanished, the stars in the sky turning all brown. "...What's with the freakin' gem stuff? Forget it... *Gaster... GasterGasterGaster- How the heck do I do this?!*" I sighed as I leaned against one of the cottages and slid to the ground and hid my face with my hands, unable to stop myself from humming the intro to Steven Universe for a few minutes. "*...I want to speak to Gaster... W. ... Sans and Papyrus' Father... Please...* What the fu-?"
I uncovered my sockets to see everything was in black and whites... all color was gone. I got up and it felt like the air was gone and I couldn't even feel my clothes on my back, yet they we're there. I looked at the sky and it was always turning into a darker shade of black if that was even possible for that color. "...Oi!... Anyone there!" I heard no one respond. "...Gaster!" I heard a stick snap behind me and I almost screamed.
There was a black mass with a pure white cracked face with blasters behind it. It had a scowl in it's face until it saw me.
"I-it'S yOU..! I'M soRRy I-.." His form changed to a tall figure with a black trench coat and and white clothes. "I'm sorry... I-I've never seen anything other than the Void... I got alarmed..." I didn't really know what to do or say. "I'm WindDings... You're the one who knows Sans and Papyrus, correct? I-I'm at a loss for your name."
"...Mmhm... You're their dad?" He nodded with a smile as he looked at his surroundings, walking towards a small lake that stretched out of view.
"...This looks like the village before the war."
"You we're born before it happened?" He nodded as he saw one small tent near the lake at the foot of the mountain.
"That was my hom-... You-... You're DejaVu, correct? T-The one from this multiverse?" He had a face of pure shock as I nodded in response.
"I uh... Watched your log with Pap... I would never wear a dress but... Heh, 'Underswap', right? You're worse than Asgore." He gave a dry chuckle as he stared at his feet. "...How are we suppose to help you? You managed to talk to Sans with what we're doing now... We wanna help but we don't know how." He still didn't say anything as his frown got worse. "...You don't know..." He shook his head and sighed and finally looked up.
"I've been erased from this world when I fell into the Core... I told Sans-"
"I-I know what you told Sans. I've seen the Core- nice work by the way... You can't just fall in without losing your footing... Oh jezus- does that hurt?!" He didn't know what I meant until he looked at his hands. I didn't see those holes in the log tape...
"...I understand your concern. I thank you for that... I-I'm fine. It was a long time ago-" Gem shards appeared from the ground a few feet away from us. They shattered to form a child in a green and yellow striped shirt... I almost attacked it with my picket knife until I realized it was like when I showed Papyrus what Puffy looked like when I first discovered this ability. "...You know her?"
"...You do too?" He nodded as he walked up to it.
"This ability is amazing... to think I decided not to study it further..." He touched the shoulder of 'Chara' and it shattered. He sighed as he brought it back, only difference was her grin and her carrying a sharp knife with her... "I knew her, yes... I was there when she fell..."
