Hidden in the shadows beyond the golden light of the judgment room, behind the sounds of birds singing, was the sound of a long thin fabric floating against the air.
huh? you look bored. i get the feeling you aren't gonna learn anything from this. well, guess i gotta judge you then.
what's with that look in your eye? did you go through and kill someone...just to see what i'd say about it? wow. you're a pretty gross person, huh?
His hand clenched as the voices grew...
you probably weren't even aware of what you were doing... and when you learned, it was too late. nah, just kidding. who gets to lv2 on accident...
Voices of timelines that he could not fully recall, whispered all around him.
you can do better, right?
He couldn't understand...
...you killed some people on purpose, didn't you? that's probably bad. though, maybe some of it was in self-defense...i don't know. help me out here. i wasn't watching. anyways, don't do that.
Why...why did he...
besides. chances are... i've already tried to steer you in the right direction.
so what can i say? what can i say that will change the mind of a being like you?
Why did he try so hard...
you're a pretty bad person. you wander around, looking for people... killing them to take their money. that's just plain messed up. and what's worse, is that as bad as you are... you aren't anywhere near as bad as you could be. you pretty much suck at being evil. honestly, it's super embarrassing.
but maybe you'd be better... at not killing anyone? crazy idea, huh? let me know how that one goes.
To get through to you. What was it, that made him think that you could change. When he could barely remember you everytime you reset. Was it because of those dreams. Those that gave him false hope. Those that made him believe that everything was happy at one point...
i'll be 'frank' with you. as much as i like putting hot dogs on your head...
haven't i done a great job protecting you?
...take care of yourself, kid. 'cause someone really cares about you.
...but you didn't get this far by giving up, did you?
so long as you do what's in your heart... i believe you can do the right thing.
"the right thing..." His frozen smile twitched, "kinda, late for that...isn't it?."
Sans didn't move...didn't make a sound as he heard your footsteps against the floor. His brother's scarf fluttered across his vision as you stood before him. In another life...in another timeline, he would have cared for the strange glitching that occurred through out your body. Almost as of you where a TV that wouldn't stay focused for too long.
"heya. you've been busy, huh?" You didn't respond. Sans noticed that you weren't much for small talks. "...so, i've got a question for ya. do you think even the worst person can change...?"
SANS! I DID IT, I STOPPED THE HUMAN FROM DOING THE VIOLENCE!
"that everyone can be a good person, if they just try?"
SANS! STOP PLAGUING MY LIFE WITH INCIDENTAL MUSIC!
"heh heh heh heh...all right. well, here's a better question. do you wanna have a bad time? cause if you take another step forward... you are REALLY not going to like what happens next." You tilted your head to the side, letting your hair fall over your face. You stood there...watching him...before taking a step forward.
"welp. sorry, old lady. this is why i never make promises." Sans pulled out your corrupted soul. "it's a beautiful day outside. birds are singing, flowers are blooming... on days like these, kids like you..." Sans opened his eyesockets, letting the dark void consume them as he stared at you.
"S h o u l d b e b u r n i n g i n h e l l" his left socket blazed with magic, summoning his strongest attack, he watched as your body burned up into ashes. Your soul shattered quickly that you didn't even had a chance to scream. But as soon as he saw your soul dissappear he could feel the pending thumping pain against his skull.
Blinking away the pain, he found you walking towards him. With a strange sense of deja vu, you stood before him, glitching in and out. "heya. you look frustrated about something. guess i'm pretty good at my job, huh?" He pulled out your soul. This time, your body was able to escape his attack with your health barely intact. "huh. always wondered why people never use their strongest attack first." It definitely seems like the smart way to go if you want to stop a psychopath.
Sans sent waves of bones after you. With merely a small nick of them, you found your wounds spreading. Your body tried to attack him, but unlike the rest...he dodged it. "what? you think i'm just gonna stand there and take it?" Even with his low health, you found yourself unable to touch him. Safe to say that you didn't last long.
"hmm. that expression...that's the expression of someone who's died twice in a row." Your body clenched the knife as it continued to hear the taunting in his voice. "suffice to say, you look really... unsatisfied. all right. how 'bout we make it a third?" Sans lifted his left hand towards you, with his fake smile, he attacked you once more.
Soon your reset began to fail its attempt to heal your clothes, leaving you to feel your own blood dry over your skin. Only proving to him that he has indeed defeated you numerous times. "hmm. that expression...that's the expression of someone who's died ten times in a row. hey, congrats! the big one-oh! let's invite all your friends over for a big shindig. we can have pie, and hot dogs, and... hmmm... wait. something's not right." Sans raised his hand towards you once more, "you don't have any friends."
After your 12th try, Sans had stopped counting, just getting straight to the point. With all your previous deaths, you found that your body was able to dodge most of his attacks. "you can't understand how this feels." Your body ran towards him, only ending with you sliding with him appearing behind you. "knowing that one day, without any warning... it's all going to be reset." You could feel your sins crawling on your back, which only caused you to glitch even more. "look. i gave up trying to go back a long time ago. and getting to the surface doesn't really appeal anymore, either. cause even if we do... we'll just end up right back here, without any memory of it, right?"
Sans could feel the chilling air that oozed out of you as you tried to attack him. Everytime you came close, behind that eerie chill, he would sometimes see the kind human that plagued his dreams. "to be blunt... it makes it kind of hard to give it my all... or is that just a poor excuse for being lazy...? hell if i know." Broken shards of bones sticked throughout your body, as you continued to stagger towards him. "all i know is... seeing what comes next... i can't afford not to care anymore." Your hand gripped tightly onto the handle of the blade. "ugh... that being said... you, uh, really like swinging that thing around, huh?" Failed to hit him, your body staggered to the ground. "... listen"
Traped inside your body, you looked at Sans as he let out a sigh. "i know you didn't answer me before, but... somewhere in there. i can feel it. there's a glimmer of a good person inside of you." With the small part of what was left of your sanity, you gripped onto the wall of your prison. "the memory of someone who once wanted to do the right thing. someone who, in another time, might have even been... a friend?" You began thrashing inside your body, determined to stop yourself. Using up all of what remained of what once was you, you were able to move your body. Your body staggered to keep control, but you continued to fight. "c'mon, buddy. do you remember me? please, if you're listening... let's forget all of this, ok?"
Sans...I never wanted...any of this...please...please believe me...
Out of frustration, you started to scream, your voice echoing inside your mind. Sans noticing your body clenching its head, he took the chance to step closer. "just lay down your weapon, and... well, my job will be a lot easier." At the sight of the mercy button, you could feel your body stretching it's hand towards the fight one.
I...I won't...let you!
Shattering past the glitch, you launched yourself towards mercy. Staggering forward, you could feel yourself back in control of your body.
"... you're sparing me? finally. buddy. pal. i know how hard it must be... to make that choice. to go back on everything you've worked up to. i want you to know... i won't let it go to waste. ... c'mere, pal."
With tears running down your cheeks, you let yourself fall into Sans' open arms. Holding tight onto his jacket, you could feel his hands stroking your back.
I'm...sorry...I'm so...sorry. I just wanted to go b..ba-
"get dunked on."
Sans buried his face into your neck as he felt your body give out a small quake in his arms. The sound of blood dripping onto the floor filled the hall. Your eyes went wide open as you stared at the back of the room. Sans continued to hold you in his arm as you let out a choking gasp. Blood leaked out of the side of your mouth as you buried your face deep into his jacket.
Large bones had penetrated through your stomach, all the way through your back.
"if we're really friends... you won't come back"
When your soul shattered, Sans could feel your body slump against his arm. Holding you tight, he could feel a teardrop slide against his skull.
Your body soon faded in and out in his arms. The world began to shift, causing Sans to grit his teeth. "kid...why?..."
Sans found himself once more, standing infront of you. But this time, things seemed... diffrent."friendship... it's really great, right? let's quit fighting" Your dark chocolate hair had turned a few shades lighter, your tan skin was paler leaving your cheeks with a soft shade of pink. Even with your clothes in a diffrent color what he noticed more...where your eyes. Your eyes that once was but a thin slit where now fully open. The large bright red eyes looked back at him accompanied with a disturbing smile.
"woah, you look REALLY pissed off... heheheh... did i getcha? well, if you came back anyway... i guess that means we never really WERE friends, huh? heh. don't tell that to the other sans-es, okay?"
A small laugh escaped through your mouth as you swung your knife. Side stepping out of the way, Sans could feel an unsettling feeling. "welp, it was worth a shot. guess you like doing things the hard way, huh?" Attack after attacks, the smile on your face never changed. Even when it was you who was harmed. Even when your body was littered with bones piercing through your flesh, you continued to smile.
"sounds strange, but before all this i was secretly hoping we could be friends. i always thought the anomaly was doing this cause they were unhappy. and when they got what they wanted, they would stop all this. and maybe all they needed was... i dunno. some good food, some bad laughs, some nice friends." Sans threw your body to the ceiling, pinning you with bones. You stared at him, smiling wide as you let your body slide through the bones. Landing onto your feet, you charged at him.
Sidestepping out of the way, you quickly turned around. "but that's ridiculous, right? yeah, you're the type of person who won't EVER be happy." He sent out his blasters after you, but to no avail. You flipped, jumped and slid out of the way. Never stopping. "you'll keep consuming timelines over and over, until... well. hey. take it from me, kid. someday... you gotta learn when to QUIT." Grabbing a hold of your soul with his magic, he sent you against the far wall, "and that day's TODAY." He pelted your body with bones, ending his turn with one more blast.
He could feel his magic dwindling as sweat dripped down his spine. Through the smoke of his blast, he soon heard the sounds of your footsteps walking closer. You where pushing him. Pushing him to use his ultimate attack. He saw that your face react to that. "yeah, my special attack. sound familiar? well, get ready. cause after the next move, i'm going to use it. so, if you don't want to see it, now would be a good time to die."
Trapped in a stand still, he watched as your face twisted in anger.
As much as he wanted, you didn't give up. He knew you wouldn't, you where too determined to stop now. "no matter what, you'll just keep going. not out of any desire for good or evil... but just because you think you can. and because you 'can'... ... you 'have to'."
SANS, THIS IS WHY YOU HAVE TO TRAIN DAILY. YOU GET TOO TIRED TOO EASILY. YOU'LL NEVER BE AS STRONG AS ME IF YOU KEEP SLACKING OFF!
"but now, you've reached the end. there is nothing left for you now. so, uh, in my personal opinion... the most "determined" thing you can do here? is to, uh, completely give up. and... (yawn) do literally anything else." His brother was right, he was always right. He would never be as strong as him. His magic having drained him, has sent him to a slight slumber-like state.
WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT!? THIS WAS ANOTHER DECISIVE VICTORY FOR PAPYRUS!!
WOW! BEING A GOOD HOST IS A REAL WORKOUT! I CAN'T FEEL MY LEGS... THAT MUST MEAN I'M BEING A GREAT HOST!!!
PLEASE ASK BEFORE YOU ESCAPE!!! WHEN YOU WENT MISSING I GOT WORRIED SICK!!!
Sans eyes flew wide open as he heard the sound of a blade slicing through the air. "heh, didja really think you would be able-" while he spoke, you swung your knife against his white shirt. Sans staggered back as his eyes lost all light. Placing his hand against his shattered ribs, he could feel the bottle of ketchup he had hidden inside his jacket pocket pour all its contents into his bones. The ketchup seeped through his shirt, coating throughout his bones. "... ... so... guess that's it, huh? ... just... don't say i didn't warn you." His vision blurred as he tried to keep himself from falling. In a haze, he could make out a tall figure standing behind the human. Focusing his gaze on it, the figure emanated with warmth as he held out his hand towards him. "welp. i'm going to grillby's. papyrus, do you want anything?" His soul shattered, scattering his dust around the human.
Feeling his brother's arm around him, he let out a small sigh of relief, he did all that he could do. But the small sense of warmth soon turned cold. He tried all his might to hold on, trying so hard to not let go, but the world soon dragged him back.
Clutching his chest, his vision cleared. A high pitched sound filled his skull as he realized where he was. He was back, back facing the human again.
"that expression that you're wearing...well, i won't grace it with a description." The human laughed as they killed him...again...and again. "...you're really kind of a freak, huh?"
