Creating AU's, helping to create new worlds filled with many possibilities and different outcomes. To see how someone's imagination can shape a whole world, brings him so much excitment and joy. Being pushed through his very own portal by a very angry skeleton was not one of them. Squinting tightly against the abrupt force of changing into another universe, Ink quickly swipes his brush behind him which opened into another universe. Both he and Berry fell from the portal and crashed onto the soft snow covered ground.
"WOWZERS! THAT'S QUITE A FALL YOU HAD THERE, I HOPE YOU'RE OKAY?" Was the first thing Ink heard as he layed on the ground. Ink groaned as he massaged his skull, while seeing colorful stars spinning around him. "MWHE-HEH-HEH! LOOK AT ALL THOSE STARS!! IT'S AMAZING, ALMOST LIKE IN THOSE BABY CARTOONS CAPTAIN ALPHYS LOVES TO WATCH SO MUCH."
"Blue? Please tell me it's you." Ink stared at the short blue skeleton that stood over him. Lately, he had been feeling so guilty for having lost sight of the small human that it seemed like his magic was making him pay for it.
"BUT OF COURSE IT'S ME SILLY! WHO ELSE CAN I BE BUT THE MAGNIFICENT SANS! MWHE-HEH-HEH!!!" Blue giving Ink a hand, he brushed the snow off of his clothes. "NOT THAT I AM NOT HAPPY TO SEE YOU, BECAUSE I EXTREMELY AM, BUT..." Blue fiddled with his oversized gloves while giving a weary glance to the side. Ink watching where his gaze went followed it towards a semi conscious Berry that was slumped against a nearby building. "WHY IS HE HERE?"
"Sorry about that Blue," Ink said as he scratched the back of his skull, "he kinda just pushed both of us in here. I was trying to get here first but I ended up in his au by accident."
"BUT OUR AU ARE NOTHING ALIKE!" Blue puffed out with his hands on his hips, "HE'S A BIG SPOILED CRYBABY WHO ONLY THINKS OF HIMSELF, HOW COULD YOU MISTAKE ME FOR HIM! JUST LOOK AT HIM!"
"...right. As much as I would like to go through again how he's the fell version of your world-"
"I DON'T SEE IT..." Blue grumbled.
"I have a favor to ask you."
"OF COURSE! YOU CAN ASK ME ANYTHING, FOR I AIM TO PLEASE ALL MY GOOD FRIENDS!" Sans bounced up and down, eyes filled with a star-like shine. Clearly he was excited to hear what Ink had in store for him this time.
"Actually I was wondering if you could join me in the search of someone, I'll tell you the details later, but as of right now I'm kinda in a hurry."
"MWHEEEEE!!! ARE WE GETTING THE TEAM BACK TOGETHER?!"
"Sort of, so are you in?" Ink stuck his hand out towards the excited short blue skeleton, awaiting him to accept his offer.
"BUT OF COURSE AS SOMEONE AS MAGNIFICENT AS I WOULD LIKE NOTHING MORE THEN TO ASSIST YOU...BUT.." Sans deflated a bit before looking down towards the ground. "I WAS JUST ABOUT TO COOK SOME DINNER FOR MY FAVORITE HUMAN. SHE...SHE HASN'T BEEN FEELING VERY WELL LATELY."
"Human? Did something happened to Chara?"
"CHARA? PFF SHE'S FINE. SHE'S BUSY LAZING AROUND THE HOUSE, COMPLAINING HOW BORED SHE IS, PROBABLY. I MENT...THE OTHER ONE." A light dust of blue spread across his face while he swayed back and forth on the heels of his blue boots. Understanding who he was referring to, Ink placed his hand ontop of the small skeleton's shoulder.
"What's wrong with Frisk, did she hurt anyone?"
"WHAT! NO! OF COURSE NOT! I'VE BEEN TAKING GREAT CARE OF HER, I EVEN MADE SURE HER CHAINS WEREN'T TOO UNCOMFORTABLE FOR HER. AND SHE ONLY TRIED KILLING ME ONCE THIS WEEK!" Blue posed proudly at the very thought of his favorite human's lack of attempts in taking his own life. Then his usual bright star-like eyes shifted into two large blue hearts as he gazed at a scenery from far away. "SHE'S EVEN SMILING WARMLY AT ME AGAIN AND NOT THAT CREEPY GOOEY ONE!"
"That's great Blue, she sounds like she's finally getting stable. So, will you come?"
"BUT...SHE'S BEEN HAVING ALOT OF NIGHTMARES LATELY. AND EVEN THOUGH I DON'T MIND CLEANING HER CLOTHES FROM THE BLACK TEARS...I ...I DON'T LIKE SEEING HER CRY. AND ME BEING THERE FOR HER SEEMS TO CALM HER DOWN A LITTLE."
"She has your brother, doesn't she?"
"BUT-"
"You trust him, don't you?" Blue stared at Ink's hand as he sorted though his feelings. Letting out a sigh, he grabbed Ink's hand and smiled brightly at him.
"MWHE-HEH-HEH!! OF COURSE I DO! HE MAY BE LAZY BUT I WILL ALWAYS BELIEVE IN HIM!"
"Great! Let's hurry before-"
"GHHH...YOU! LOW CLASS PEASANT! HOW COULD YOU BRING ME TO THIS DISGUSTING PLACE!!!"
"Sorry Berry, but we gotta go bye!" Ink quickly swiped his brush in the air and jumped right in. Blue gave Berry a smug look before jumping in after him.
"GAHHHH! YOU CAN'T LEAVE ME HERE!!!" His frustrated scream had caught the attention of a wondering human wearing a green sweater.
"Sansy in leather tights? Never picked him as the kinky type."
After arguing with Chara to surrender Berry to her, Core took the very angry Berry back to his world. Which the lanky and sweaty Papyrus was very grateful have having back. The next universe she wanted to check was one she really hoped the little human had not come across with. Needing a place to sort out her thoughts, she found herself sitting underneath the shadows of a large Sakura tree. Admiring the cherry blossoms against the clear blue sky, she let out a relaxed sigh as she smelled the aroma of her green tea. The gentle wind swayed the small delicate petals back and forth. Some even fluttered away from their branches as to follow the wind. A few of the petals in the wind fell ontop of the clear water of the small lake of Peach Blossom Village.
"I love coming here. It always relaxes me." She quietly said as she looked into her tea cup, smiling at the small petal that floated ontop of her tea.
"shān yǔ yù lái fēng mǎn lóu." The soft low timber of his voice wrapped itself around her, providing her soothing comfort.
"I guess you can sense it can't you..." Her companion's copper coin pendent shifted from the the soft wind, making small tapping noises at they clinked against each other. Taking in a sip of her tea, the skeletal companion that sat next to her gave her a sly smile underneath his conical rice hat.
"bù zuō sǐ jiù bú huì sǐ," Core coughed and sputtered from the hot tea crawling it's way towards the wrong pipe. Sans chuckled before giving her a small clean rag to clean herself off.
"Xièxiè." She manage to croak while setting her cup down. Clearing her throat, she hugged her knees. "I guess it was stupid of us to have lost her so quickly. But you're right, I should really be going before this whole thing does bite me in the ass." Sighing into her legs, she regrettably began getting up from the soft grass. Sans offered her a bit of his cherry blossom wine, but she kindly refused. "búyào xièxie, but I think you might also want to stop."
"wèishénme..." he question before taking a swig of the wine. Core pointed behind her before blinking herself away. Sans raised his bone brow for at first he didn't see anyone behind him. But then he heard the disapproving booming voice of his brother, he jump abruptly from his seat which spilled the cup of tea you had left behind. "qù nǐ mā de" he shouted as the tea went over his exposed foot. He sighed, awaiting for the lecture his brother had prepared for him for not being at the stronghold. But instead of seeing his brother first, he saw the village pharmacist. When she spotted Sans, she giggled at him noticing the predicament he had found himself in. Sans lowered his hat as to hide his growing blush.
The snow crunching beneath his slippers, he passed the curious stares of the monsters he passed by. Ignoring all those he came across, by simply glitching his way through them. Hands stuffed inside his jacket, he continued to walk. This little search was really pissing him off, well...that's what he gets for going along with Ink's plan he thought. Making his way towards a large cave hidden behind Snowdin, he tapped his knuckles against the cave walls. Awaiting a few minutes before attempting to knock again, a low rumbling echoed through out the cave. In the dark depths, the only thing he could pin point where the growing lights of the monster that took resident in this remote hide away.
"heh...i thought that was you." Letting out a disgusted grunt, "i can smell that stench anywhere. now, what would the destruction of worlds be doing here? i thought those two already tamed you?" The low voice snickered. Error felt his magic pulsing painfully through his bones, scratching the surface just to latch out against the overgrown glitch that stood infront of him.
"taMeD? thAt's fuNnY, caUsE I cOulD sAy The sAme thiNg aBouT yOu, bEaSt." Error could hear thebeast 's claws digging against the rock walls. Not up for being a chew toy, magical strings started to form around him. "I'm nOt heRe tO plAy, jUst caMe tO sEe IF a cerTain huMan laNded anYwheRe aroUnd heRe."
"what if they did? who's to say I haven't already taken a bite out of them yet?" Error could easily hear the beast tongue running across the large canine teeth.
"DoN't haVe tiMe fOr thiS..." The coiling strings expanded around him as they cut against the cave walls.
"STOP!" A voice shouted behind him, but he ignored it. He wanted to get his answer as quick as possible for he was sick of taking his sweet-ass time babying these au's. But hearing the new voice, the beast started to panic as fear loomed over his soul. The newcomer noticing that Error was not stopping that they ran passed him; they stood infront of the beast with their arms out, blocking any attempt of harming him. "Please, just tell us what you want and we'll do it. Just please don't...don't hurt him." Frisk's soul glowed brightly with determination as she stood her ground.
Seeing her confront the monster known to obliterate a world until there was nothing left,fueled his fear and his wrath. For no one would ever lay a hand on his mate. If even one hair was even touched on her head, he would rip apart their head from their body! Letting out a loud menacing growl, Sans easily pushed Frisk behind him. He towered over the glitching skeleton, daring him to even try to get anywhere near her. "Sans, stop. No one has to fight!"
"AnSweR mE thiS oNe quEstiOn aNd thEn I'lL leAve. SiMplE rigHt?" Sans gave him a short nod. "goOd, noW... haVe aNy oF yOu tWo sEeN a sMall huMan giRl arOunD heRe?" The beast shook his head no. "NoW thAt waSn't sO haRd tO anSwEr nOw, waS iT?" Error snapped his phalanges and walked through the tear, leaving the au behind. Sans scuffed before wrapping his large body around his mate, covering her with his scent.
Core, Ink and Error continued to wonder through the AUs in search for the young girl, all without knowing that her brother had also joined in the search. Jasper stretched his limbs as he felt himself getting stronger and stronger as he walked through the dark corridor. Placing his hand against the cave walls, he could feel a certain hum of magic pulsing through it. "Heh, so this place is like a huge humidifier that radiates magic. That's pretty cool." Entering the next room, he found himself in a dark area where a beam of light shown ontop of a single yellow flower. "A...flower?"
"Howdy! I'm Flowey, Flowey the Flower!"
Okay, a talking flower that eerily resembles one of my sister's toys. Yeah...not creeped out.
"Hmmm...you're new to the underground, are'tcha?"
"Yes?"
Yeah, not liking this weed... something about him seems...off.
"Golly you must be so confused. Someone ought to teach you how things work around here! I guess little old me will have to do."
Bleh, why does he talk so sickly sweet?
"Ready?"
"For wha-"
"Here we go!" Flowey strained as he tried to pull the young boy's soul. When he finally managed to pull his soul out, his eyes went wide with shock. "What the hell is wrong with your soul?" Jasper scratched his head, as he looked around.
Soul? My soul? Gah, I don't see it...
"Okay, so what was it that you wanted to tell me. Cause I'm kinda in a hurry here." Jasper's voice snapped Flowey from his bewilderment. Shaking his head, he regained his sweet like facade.
"See that heart? That is your soul, the culmination of your being!" Flowey continued his explanation while Jasper dug his hand into his pocket.
Don't see it. And what's with this LV he's talking about? Thought that stood for level not love.
"...shared through 'friendliness pellets'... are you ready, move around! Get as many as you can!" Flowey launched the pellets towards the young boy, who side stepped them, looking unamused by the situation he found himself in. "Hey buddy you missed them. Let's try again...okay?"
"How about I don't?" Sidestepping them again, Flowey gritted his teeth.
"Is this a joke? Are you brain dead? RUN. INTO. THE BULLETS!!!"
"HA! You said bullets!" Jasper jumped out of the way of the incoming attacks. Standing his ground, he smirked as Flowey's face twisted in anger.
"You know what's going on here, don't you? You just want to see me suffer. NOW DIE!" Flowey's face twisted with rage while he cackled at having the small human surrounded by his attack.
"I don't know about all that but..." Jasper's iris began to glow bright as the whites of his eyes turn black. Power surging around him, the bottom of his coat flapped around him. Sticking his hand out, magic began to coil around his hand until it harden to shape a long sword made of bones. "I don't have time to die!" Brandishing his newly formed weapon, he posed heroically against the angered flower. "The Amazing Jasper Daniels will not be defeated by a flower!"
But before he could charge towards the flower, a flaming ball of magic launched itself towards Flowey; sending him flying out. Jasper's magic vanished as he stood there confused on what had happened.
"What a terrible creature, torturing such a poor innocent- Oh My!"
A large kind looking goat woman wearing a purple robe came into view, only baffling the young boy even more. She looked so shocked to see him. Waking from her shock, she cleared her throat and went to her knees. She felt so much sorrowand pity towards the young boy. The thought of someone so small being trapped in a world filled with monsters, monsters who are desperate to get their hands on a human soul. She placed her large paw against his cheek. "Such a young child...how did you get down here?"
Personal space?
"Don't be afraid my child. I am Toriel, caretaker of the Ruins. Come! I'll take you to a safe place." Toriel gathered the young boy into her large warm arms and carried him through the Ruins.
Wait? What's going on! Where is she taking me!? Stranger danger!!
Toriel patted the young boy's back to relax him as she sensed the stiffness in his body. Jasper could feel the small warmth emanating from beneath her clothes and fur. Arriving into a room that held a dummy, Toriel placed the young boy down to the ground. She explained how there were monsters that lived underground and that he had to learn how to confront them if he had ever came across one. That he should talk to them and not fight them. Jasper stood infront of the lifeless dummy, staring at several glowing buttons as the room around him became dark.
Fight, Act, Items and Mercy? This is so werid.
"Go on my child, talk to it."
Talk...to a dummy? How...
Pressing the act button, he waited.
What do you say to a dummy?
Not saying anything, the dummy began to float away. As it did this, Jasper noticed a couple of words floating infront of him. *Dummy tires of your aimless shenanigans
Interesting...
"Can I go now?" He asked as the buttons disappeared and the room returned back to normal. Toriel looked as if she didn't know what to say. Picking the young boy up, she let out a nervous chuckle.
"You must be tired, let me take you home." Carrying him the rest of the way, Jasper (slumped over her shoulder) watched as the various collection of monsters walked around the Ruins. He noticed how they all waved so cheerfully to one another and even saw a couple of monster children scattering around.
This is not what I had imagine the "Amazing Rescue by Jasper Daniels" to be. Fighting flowers and being kidnapped by sweet old goat ladies...
Reaching her home, Toriel opened her front door and walked towards one of the rooms inside her house. He saw that she passed what looked like the basement, he had asked what was down there, but she avoided the subject. Standing infront of a closed door, she told him that this was the room he would be living in and she hoped that he liked it. Entering the room, he saw the different belongings of children, all varying in sizes.
Heh, yeah this room isn't werid. Especially with no sounds of kids anywhere in this house!
"Did you say that I'm...staying here?"
"Yes my child. The underground is a dangerous place for someone so young."
I...
The kind old goat monster tucked him into the twin sized bed, before kissing him on the forehead.
really...
Jasper all snugged tightly in bed, could only stare blankly at the ceiling above.
...really...
After a few minutes of staring, Toriel walked in holding a piece of pie. Placing it on the ground, she walked away, closing the door behind her.
...don't have time for this...
Pushing away the blankets, he stuffed the pie into his backpack and rushed out of the room. Walking into a soft lit living room, he saw Toriel sitting in her chair reading a book by the fireplace.
"Oh my, is something the matter my child?" She said as she placed her book down onto her lap.
"Lady you're nice and everything but, I'll be going now."
"My child, do you wish to hear some snail facts instead. It is quite enjoyable."
"Sorry, but no. Thanks for the pie though." Jasper turned around and went straight towards the basement.
"WAIT, MY CHILD!"
When the lady was carrying me, I noticed that there didn't seem to be an exit. There was another path she didn't take me to, but that looked like some kind of market. She did say she was the keeper of some sorts, so...she must have something to guard right?
Toriel being taller and having longer steps than him, caught him in time before he could get any further.
"My child, it's quiet dusty here, no place for a child to play in."
I knew it! There's something here isn't there!!!
Again and again, Jasper continued to run towards the basement. But everytime he tried, Toriel continued to catch him. Until finally she carried himstraight to his room. Closing the door behind her, he could hear her heavy footsteps going down the stairs. Taking his chance, Jasper left his room and ran as fast as he could down the stairs and towards whatever Toriel was hiding from him.
Going around the corner he was faced with Toriel preparing to destroy what looked like an overly large door. Toriel's face filled with her growing loneliness and sadness, blocked Jasper's way.
"My child, I do not wish to see anymore children die before me. But if you wish so badly to leave, then you must prove to me that you are strong enough to survive."
Toriel blocks the way
"Fighting old ladies really isn't my thing, but if it's a fight you want then you got one!"
Bonbon, I'm coming for you!
