Chapter 9

A few moments passed before Alphys was replaced with the blue fish-monster lady. Silvia didn't like her very much and frowned when she came in. Undyne growled right back.

"Sans i-is going to kick your butt," Silvia told her boldly.

"I'd like to see him try," she spat. She kneeled in front of Silvia and snatched her chin with her scaly fingers. She forced Silvia to look her in the eyes. "Do you know why we're doing this? Alphys tells me you're rather smart for a runt."

"Because you're mean!" Silvia snapped, little flecks of blood dotting Undyne's face. The monster hissed, baring her thick, long teeth.

"No," she said slowly. "It's because you humans took something very precious to us monsters. Do you at least know what that is?" Silvia wrestled against her bindings, even though she knew she'd never break free by herself.

"Your favorite toy," Silvia responded, her voice a sea of sarcasm. Undyne's hand gripped Silvia's face harder.

"You're being a brat," the monster noted, her face contorted to try to remain from showing her annoyance. Her gills pulsed furiously.

"And you're being a turd!" she shot back immediately. Silvia knew she was in peril, but maybe if she kept the fish-lady talking to her, Sans could come and save her and they could go home and eat. Silvia's stomach rumbles at the thought.

"Can I have some food?" she asked, the angry edge she had to bring up now gone. "It's dinner time and I was supposed to meet Sans at the bench room a while ago and I'm hungry." Undyne growled and flung Silvia away. She landed hard on her side, her head hitting the cold tile floor. The monster stood back up and turned to two armored guards.

"Take her to the King," she ordered, tossing back her long blood-red hair. The guards nodded and stepped up to Silvia. She bared her teeth at one, but he just snorted with cruel laughter. The two guards grabbed her arms and unbound her ankles, but kept her knees securely against each other. Silvia's weak little Soul fluttered back to her chest, it shakily entering her. She gasped, suddenly freezing cold. The gap in her heart made it hard to breathe and her body convulsed. Silvia lurched forward, throwing up over the ground. Both guards, revolted, held her away at arms length. Silvia gagged a few times until all she choked up was more blood.

The monsters began to carry her towards the door. She writhed weakly in their grasp.

No... No, I have to buy him more time. He has to get here. He has to save me...

Silvia turned her head towards the larger guard, and spat a glob of ichor onto his face. He flinched and then switched his grasp to her throat.

But as soon as he did, there was a deafening boom from the other side of the door. The entire structure shook and a plume of dust and smoke entered through the slot under the door. Screams of fear and alarm rang out. Silvia's heart soared, she letting out a squeaky sigh of relief.

He was here.

Sans' eye was blazing with his blue magic as one of the skeletal dragon heads collapsed the front wall of the Royal Guards' barrack. Sans dashed in and leapt onto the smoking rubble, ignoring the shouts of the hundreds of guards. Boiling fury made Sans' bones shake and both of his hands were engulfed in cyan flames. When the dust cleared inside, he stood tall on his mound of destruction, his head pounding with his hatred and magic. In the far corner of the room, he easily picked out the newest Royal Scientist, Alphys. She was holding a deep wound in her shoulder, dark brown blood oozing from the orifice. He'd deal with her later, but for now, his top priority before rescuing Silvia, was to kill Undyne.

After the guards had finally regained their sense of reality, they each turned to where Sans stood. His glare could kill four-hundred men where they stood. The guards fell silent, some of them trembling in Sans' presence. The only noise that could be heard was the light flecks of stone that clicked to the tile.

Sans broke the quiet.

"WHERE THE FUCK IS MY KID?!" he bellowed at the armored monsters. Sharpened bones began spinning menacingly around Sans and he could feel hundreds more ready to burst from the floor if no one responded. His magic flared brighter. "ONE OF YOU BASTARDS BETTER ANSWER ME OR THINGS ARE GONNA GET DUSTY REAL FUCKING QUICK!" A few guards reeled back at his thundering voice as if they were physically hit.

"W-w-we have no m-monster children h-here Sans," Alphys stammered, her body shuddering violently.

Sans' arm shot forward, summoning a laser cannon to appear in front of her. Smoke flitted from its jagged teeth and out of its eye sockets. When Alphys tried to scoot away, it snarled warningly.

"My kid isn't a monster," Sans hissed, his Soul beating hard. "She's a human child and her name is Silvia!" Alphys fell silent, along with every one else. The cannons' whirring from within the only sound audible. "WHERE IS SHE?!"

Sans' eye sockets were searching the large crowd, hoping to find her pale skin or golden-orange hair. There was a slam of a door and one monster stormed forward. A large blue spear was clasped in her webbed, scaly hand and her bright yellow eyes with slitted pupils glared at Sans atop his pile of debris.

"You've really dug quite a ditch for yourself, haven't you Sans?" Undyne snarled, her long fangs showing as she peeled back her lip. "Brought yourself to 'love' a human! The highest of treasons against our King!" Motivated by their leader, a few guards daringly lifted their weapons. Sans spat at them, earning himself an angry growl from Undyne.

"I adopted a defenseless girl!" he roared, a halo of bones stabbbing out of the ground to enclose Undyne. A few guards backed away with cries of alarm, but Undyne stood unmoving and brave.

"You harbored a dangerous being," she replied firmly, staring at him between the thin gaps in the structure. Four bones floated above her, taunting the monster to jump just so they could pierce her body. "You refused possession when ordered and you abandoned your duty."

"What duty?!" Sans screamed, sweat streaking down his cranium. "My duty to capture humans who may or may not be dangerous?! Silvia is different! Despite her armor and weapon, she has an LV of zero!" A few guards' shoulders slumped at the thought of such an innocent. "She has absolutely no potential to even damage someone! She has no desire or curiousity of what she could be if she killed anyone!" The scientist in the corner shifted, causing Sans' deathly glare to land on her.

"S-s-she kicked m-me earlier..." Alphys whispered. "A-and she didn't a-a-apologize... S-so it's untrue to state t-that she'd n-never want to hurt s-s-someone..." Sans scoffed.

"Oh she did? Was she lashing out or protecting herself?" he barked, making Alphys cower back further against the wall. "What were you doing?"

"I-I had to collect her S-Soul sample...I-I needed to know what v-virtue she r-r-represents a-and I-"

"You..." Sans interrupted slowly. Both of his sockets were empty and his frown was full of venom. "Cut... INTO HER SOUL?!" The guards flinched back as one of the blasters fired a vaporizing beam at the stone wall outside the building. The barrack shook and more dust and debris fell from the cieling. Sans was panting softly, rage fueling every ounce of magic inside of him.

A door opened near the back wall and Sans hazily looked up, both of his eyes dark, but now flames all the way up to his elbows engulfed his arms. If he let magic seep through his eye at this intensity, he could damage his vision. Two guards had come from the door and they looked as if they were carrying something, but from this distance, it was a little hard to tell. Sans took a pace forward.

"One more step, skeleton, and I'll force a thousand spears into your Soul," Undyne snarled, getting as close as she could to the bones between her and Sans. His attention was momentarily back on the fish monster. Two more cannons swerved forward, their maws open and ready to obliterate Undyne. She whacked a few of the bones with her spear, an awful keening sounding out. The bones were undamaged.

"Sans!"

All heads in the room turned to the two guards in the back when the voice called out. They froze when everyone stared at them, including Undyne and Sans. Sans smiled, his bones relaxing immediately.

"Hey kiddo. You okay?" he said, his voice light and calm, but by the way his sockets were still empty and how two spiked femurs aimed at one guard each appeared, everyone could tell Sans was far from done with the monsters.

"Everyone here is a big pile of poo!" Silvia announced furiously, though her own words were ragged and raspy. A few guards dared to smile or snigger. Sans himself chuckled, stepping down the rubble.

"Yeah? Well, I'm here now, Silvia. We're going to go home, wrap ourselves in that big blanket you like and eat the quiche. Okay?" Sans strolled by Undyne, giving her a withering glance. She bared her teeth at him, trying to notch her spear between the bones. Guards scurried away from Sans as he walked by, three dragon heads drifting close behind him. When Sans reached the two huddled guards, who clasped Silvia between them, Sans smiled up at them, closing one of his eyes. The open left socket flared to life, the flames on his hands wisping away.

"Okay! But can we hurry up please? I'm hungry and these doodie-heads don't have anything to eat!" The guards trembled in fear.

"Let go of her, boys, and no dust an' blood will be spilled," Sans ordered softly. His grin was a mask of calm to cover the shit-storm ready to happen.

"Ronan, Calyth!" Undyne roared from her imprisonment. "Don't you dare obey him! Know your purpose! Know your duty!"

Sans tsked. "Now, I'm pretty sure that that command's a death sentence. Listen guys. I don't like hurting people. I don't like barging into other monsters' property and threaten everyone in the premises." He shrugged, holding out his hands in an oddly helpless gesture. "But...you steal my child and cut her Soul and try to take her to a monster who wants nothing more for her than her death?" Sans laughed. It was dry and cold and hollow. "You'll all be dead where you stand. So, men, let go of her."

One of them, a crocodile-headed monster with four horns, withdrew his hands from Silvia's left arm. He scrambled back and stared at Sans with wide eyes. The other monster, a sharp clawed, cat-like monster with incredibly long canines and cropped ears looked just as ready to bolt.

"Ronan!" Undyne warned, willing to grasp the bones that enclosed her. Sans could feel her hearty HP drop steadily, and the smell of burning scales drifted throughout the room. "Do not give him that human!"

"All right, Ronan," Sans said over Undyne's curses. "I'm gonna make this one-hundred per cent fool-proof: I give you five seconds to hand me Silvia. If you don't..." Sans snapped his fingers, and four sharpened humeruses aimed for Ronan's head, stomach and chest. "...you get the point." Silvia giggled a little. "One...two..."

"Ronan!" Undyne screamed when the guard's claws began to loosen. She was beating her cage violently with her weapon. The guard paused, and Sans' smile faltered.

"Three," Sans continued. "Four..." The bones closed in.

Ronan pushed Silvia to Sans. His face was instantly transformed into a look of relief. The other guards spread out, their backs against the cracked, dark grey walls.

Sans cut Silvia's bindings and wrapped his arms around her, his boney fingers in her hair. The child embraced him as well, and the room was quiet except for Sans' frantic whispers. Tears cornered his eye sockets as he picked her up, beginning to walk across the large room and towards the destroyed entrance.

Once the two made it to the rubble pile, Sans gave one last glance at the guards, Undyne and Alphys. His left eye burned back to life.

"If any of you touch my kid again, I-"

"He'll give you a bad time!" Silvia proclaimed. Sans smiled at her, rubbing her back, but his eyes were deathly.

"Exactly." He turned back, starting to scale the massive mound. Silvia nestled her head against his right cheekbone and Sans felt his body warm up. They were going to go home...

But then a loud screech stabbed everyone's ears. Sans whipped around, his body growing ridged.

No...

Undyne had broken free, four spears impaled in one of the cannon's eye sockets and two more were in her hands. One of her own eyes was scrunched shut, dark green blood streaking across her scales. The other cannon prepared to fire, but Undyne cut it down in a matter of seconds.

"Guards!" she boomed, launching forward with startling speed. Sans clutched Silvia against him and stumbled back. Silvia cried in alarm. "Get that human to King Asgore Dreemurr!" She swung her spear, the flat-end of the blade hitting Sans in the shoulder. He grunted in pain. The armored monsters surged forward, weapons readied.

Sans bolted up the rock pile, trying to get over it. If he could just make it past the damn entrance, he could run for miles without stopping. But a guard snatched his leg with an iron grip and he was yanked backwards. Jagged edges in the rubble stabbed at his back and he thrust himself up, his magic activating and bones rained down from above. Out of the corner of his socket, Sans could see monsters bursting into splatters of multi-colored bloods and thick clouds of dust. Regret froze Sans' ribs and he hesitated to fire more.

He should have.

Sans felt an explosion of pain in his left temple and he crumpled to the debris. His vision was swarmed with insane blue flecks and his hearing was muffled. He felt Silvia be ripped away from him and he heard her softened scream of fear. The silenced shouts of victory from the guards. He could see her be carried away, Undyne grasping Alphys' wrist as she tugged her along. Small, frightened fingers reaching out for him, begging him to get up. Sans' hearing cleared ever so slightly just in time to hear Silvia's cry.

"DADDY!"

Sans got to his feet but something kicked him down. His skull clocked the rubble and tears cornered his eyes as he began to panic. He yelled out for Silvia in his paralyzed state on the rubble.

"SILVIA! Oh god, Silvia! I'm going to protect you! I'm going to save you! I won't let you die!" His vision was overwhelmed, fading to black. He forced out one last bellow.

"I PROMISE!"

Ugh... That was painful. Sorry to say this guys, but I've got to leave it here until I finish writing chapter 10. I hope you guys are okay, and I'm sorry. Thank you all and make sure to review, favorite and follow. Goodnight. -Sty
