Hey y'all! Welcome back to Meant To Be! This is it! A big battle is coming and let's hope Nightmare can be saved! Someone unexpected will come to provide aid, but will they be good or bad? Anyone who read the old version will already know the answer.
Disclaimer: I own nothing but the story idea!
Springtrap laughed, thinking of ways to force the prisoners he had to work for him. He had used his powers to summon more nightmare animatronics, so he had an army and the means of forcing the prisoners to work. Nightmare stood by the rabbit's side, his eyes glowing purple from the spell Springtrap has used to corrupt him. He was ready to fight, growling.
Springtrap smiled at this. "Such a good boy Nightmare~... soon we'll be together forever~..." he said, then a growl escaped him as the sounds of fighting reached his ears. "What's going on out there!?" he questioned, getting up to investigate. He barely moved when the front doors to the castle burst open, revealing Sans and Papyrus. "Let Nightmare go!" shouted Sans, his left eye glowing blue.
"Not a chance! He's mine!" Springtrap cackled, snapping his fingers and watching as Nightmare lunged at the two skeletons. They dodged and Papyrus began battling him, summoning orange bones to fight and defend with. Sans watched as his brother fought, but noted how Papyrus wasn't trying to actually hurt Nightmare, the older skeleton knowing how much Sans cared about the bear.
Nightmare roared and slashed at Papyrus with his claws, barely missing him. However, he easily bit down on the glowing bone Papyrus swung at him and shattered it, forcing the older skeleton to summon a new one. Papyrus swung and managed to get a hit to Nightmare's face, but the bear roared in anger and suddenly grabbed Papyrus, bashing him into the ground several times until he was unconscious.
"PAPYRUS!" shouted Sans, his eyes wide. Nightmare turned his attention to Sans and roared, lunging at him. Sans managed to summon a Gaster Blaster and knocked Nightmare a good distance away with a blast of energy. However, for some reason it took more energy than usual to use said blaster and Sans felt drained afterwards. "You little-!" shouted Springtrap, shooting a blast of energy at Sans.
However, it never reach it's target as it was blocked by a purple energy shield, which dissipated as a tall and lanky figure emerged from the shadows. The figure was another skeleton, cracks on the upper right and lower left sides of his face and his eyes glowing purple. "DAD!" said Sans, recognizing the skeleton as none other than W.D Gaster, the former royal scientist and his and Papyrus' father. "Sans, snap Nightmare out of the spell... I'll handle the rabbit..." Gaster said, summoning a glowing purple bone scythe and lunging at Springtrap as the two began their own battle.
Sans nodded and ran to Nightmare, who was getting up and recovering from the blast Sans had hit him with. The short skeleton quickly took the bear's face in his hands and forced the bear to look at him in the eyes. "Nightmare, please... you have to snap out of it!" he begged, tears pricking his eyes. "He'll never listen to you boy!" said Springtrap, grinning. "You're too weak!" Sans closed his eyes, then opened them as both were glowing blue. No, I'm not... unlike you, my strength comes from my friends!" he said, his soul calling out to his friends.
As it did each of them flashed in Sans' mind: Frisk and Asriel, their souls glowing red and green respectively; Undyne and Alphys, Undyne's soul now a bright yellow as Alphys' shown a deep blue; Toriel and Asgore, Toriel's a bright sky blue and Asgore's a bright orange; Sans even saw Flowey, who surprisingly had a teal soul and Gaster, whose soul shown purple. Papyrus' soul appeared as a soft pink. Sans' own soul began resonating with them and the energy began emanating from him, showing all the colors.
"Nightmare, wake up from this spell!" he said, pushing the energy outwards. Nightmare's eyes suddenly began switching between purple and their normal color before settling back to how they were supposed to be. He shook his head as the rainbow energy from Sans suddenly burst from his body, getting rid of the nightmare animatronics and hitting Springtrap full force. The rabbit screeched as he was literally shattered by the blast, leaving no trace.
Sans panted as the energy subsided, the others coming running after freeing the imprisoned monsters. "Sans?' asked Nightmare, blinking. "H-Hey..." the small skeleton managed before fainting, drained from energy. Nightmare caught him and hugged him close. "Something's not right... we need a medic in here now!" shouted Gaster, noticing Sans' breathing was too shallow to be from simple energy loss. Sans, please be ok... Thought Nightmare as the medic rushed over.
Sans!? This can't be good! For those wondering, the pink and teal souls are not canon. For me teal in this instance would represent redemption and pink represents love (though that one might've been obvious XD). I also paired each soul color with the monster I thought they best represented. I sadly didn't include Mettaton in that because I couldn't think of a good soul color for him T_T.
Until next time, Icy is out!
