They ended up near the border to the Empty Lands, where a dark creature that looked like a large alligator was walking towards the border with a dozen other creatures, as other people noticed and panicked. Gold brought forth a golden dagger, along with a silver dagger in her other hand.
"Time to take down some beasts... stay here Fresh, it's safer," Gold said, and she ran ahead to fight the creatures, while a few other guardians were running to fight as well.
"Okay," Fresh said, as he put his hands in his jacket pocket while slowing walking towards where Gold ran to for a better view.
Gold and the other guardians fought with the dark creatures, until the alligator along with two creatures remained and fused together. As they fought, Gold's wrist was hit as her silver dagger flew out of her hand and staked the ground some feet away. Gold continued fighting with her golden dagger, although her left wrist was hurt from the surprise attack.
Fresh saw the gleaming dagger land on the ground, as he stared at it for a moment. Then he looked towards the others and noticed that the alligator beast seemed to corner them as his tail raised to strike the guardians. Gold cut the beast's tail to protect the others, but the creature turned and grabbed her with it's clawed hand as it stood up on it's back feet. It slammed it's hand with Gold on the ground, as she yelped from the impact but wasn't very hurt. The beast roared as it opened it's mouth, ready to chomp down and swallow Gold whole.
The other guardians tried to attack, but the beast ignored them, as Gold screamed out of fear and frustration from her circumstance. Then a cut slashed across one of the beast's eyes as it lifted it's head and screeched in pain. Another cut slashed the other eye as Gold recognized the silver cut, while the beast released her and covered it's bleeding eyes. The other guardians and Gold quickly attacked the beast in unison as it broke apart into separate creatures and fell back into the portal it came out of in pieces.
Afterward, the guardians cheered from their success, as Gold turned to look for who used her silver dagger. Her eyes widened to see Fresh standing not too far away, while holding the silver dagger in his hand that had black blood on it from the creature when he attacked it. Gold approached him while the other guardians were discussing why so many creatures appeared at one time.
"Fresh, you attacked it, with such precision... you saved me. Thank you," Gold said with a smile of pure appreciation.
"Heh. I wasn't gonna let that unrad beast hurt ya, homeslice," Fresh said, as he handed Gold the silver dagger.
When she reached for it, suddenly Gold stopped as she noticed that the blue gem that stood on the center of the handle was glowing. She found this completely strange because there was only one reason that the gem would glow.
"Wassup Gold?" Fresh asked, noticing her freeze up.
Gold took the dagger and as she wiped the blood off, she walked closer to Fresh and asked,
"Hey, so Fresh... where do you come from?"
Fresh replied, "I'm not really from anywhere. I just live to spread good vibes."
"Yes, I see, but I was wondering... have you ever been to the dark void?" She asked, walking closer as she looked at him carefully.
Fresh started walking back slowly as he replied, "Uhh, yeah, I have. Why ya asking?"
"Were you in the dark void about two years ago?" Gold asked, as she finished cleaning the blade.
'W-Why is she asking me this...? W-Why did I use that dag to cut up that unfly dude... ... wait... this body... is he...?' Fresh concentrated as he entered his inner mind to communicate with the soul of his body.
{ "Hey, homie! You there?" -Fresh virus
"Yes?" - ... Sans
"What's the big deal dude? I'm getting all these vibes and feels and I don't get it brah. What's going on up in here? I thought we were cool." -Fresh virus
"We are... it's just..." - ... Sans
"What's happenin' my broseph?" -Fresh virus
"Well... I never thought I was going to see my Curtain again... I missed her so much..." - ... Sans
"Wha-Whaaaaat? Gold? Gold is your Curtain?!" -Fresh virus
"Yeah. Didn't ya recognize what she said? I was pulled into the dark void by one of the forgotten beast as the portal closed. I was surrounded when I used my final attack to destroy the dark creatures. I was really weak after that, especially from a wound I got from getting pulled in and all that. That's when ya found me. I thought I was going to die there, especially when I heard the beasts coming. That's why I agreed to let ya take my body... pretty much forever." - ... Sans
"My radical bro-tato chip! Why didn't ya tell me, Silver? That's where all these feelings for her are coming from." -Fresh virus
"I was surprised to see her, but I was worried about her reacting to me like this... You know, fused with you." -Silver Sans
"Aw man... she's asking some questions dude. Do ya think she'll be mad if she knew?" -Fresh virus
"... yeah." -Silver Sans
"What should we do then?" -Fresh virus
"I'll back ya up. We're basically the same person now, so we'll be alright." -Silver Sans
"... Alright, broseph." -Fresh virus}
Waking up from his two-second inner chat, Fresh twitched a bit since Gold was still looking at him, awaiting his answer.
"I visit sometimes, but rarely now since I've had this host," Fresh replied.
"Did you find this host in the dark void?" She asked, and he replied,
"Yeah."
"Do you know the name of the Sans you're possessing by any chance?" Gold asked, as she continued to walk towards him with a false smile, as he continued to move back.
"... Uhh... his name was Silver Sans," Fresh replied, and Gold immediately slammed his back into a nearby tree.
Gold held the silver dagger up, aimed at Fresh's face, as his glasses read, OH NO. She used her other hand to push his glasses on his head, and then she returned it firmly to his shoulder. Fresh was close to terrified, not only from the blade that stood before his parasite eye, but of the one who held the blade because he was scared of what she could do. Gold's serious expression slowly changed as she sniffled with watery eyes and said,
"You took him… I saw him get dragged into the dark void... I tried to save him, but the portal closed... I came in after him, and the beasts just started coming... I could have gotten him out, but you took him… for two years I thought he was gone, but you had him this whole time... You... YOU took him! You've kept him from me this whole time… Have you been torturing him? Sucking the life out of him?"
Her tears began to roll down her cheeks, as Fresh's eyes widened when he could see the pain in her eyes, as Silver's soul in his left eye pulsed. Seeing Gold's pain hurt him even more because he knew how she felt, and he knew that she suffered like he did when they were separated.
"Gold, wait! Listen to me, please! He agreed to be my host to save his life because he thought he was going to kick the bucket! I didn't know you two were in love, but I haven't hurt'em like your thinkin'. He is the first host I actually took better care of because he is one radical broseph, and his powers are like infinite," the parasite side of Fresh said.
"Why should I believe you? Give me a reason," Gold said, as her grip on the blade became firmer.
"... He's telling ya the truth, my Golden apple," the Silver side of Fresh said, as Gold's eyes widened to hearing her old nickname again.
"We made an agreement, and we've both been keeping our word... at this point... we're almost one person entirely. 'Fresh Sans' is both of us, although we CAN talk to one another as separate voices in our mind. I'm able to speak to you now, but soon we'll be completely one... that was our second agreement not too long ago since we've worked together pretty well and have survived this long..." the Silver side of Fresh said, as Gold lowered the dagger.
"You still kept my dagger... my dear Golden apple..." He gently stroked her cheek with his hand, as Gold continued to cry with a small smile on her face.
"I've always kept it, like the love in my heart for you, my Silver Star," Gold said, as he smiled to hear his old nick name again.
"I want you to know Gold... I love you so much, and I've missed you so much... I'm so sorry for being gone for so long... I was adjusting to having the Fresh parasite, and I couldn't see you because he was in control mostly... I respected him since he did help me when I was going to die... I'm sorry my dear," he said, and he moved away from the wall as he placed his hands on her shoulders while Gold placed her hands on his chest.
"I am Silver Sans...
I am Fresh Parasite...
But I'm no longer one or the other...
I am Silver Fresh. I am my own self, and I still love you, my Golden homeslice," Silver Fresh said, as he lowered his hands to around her waist with a smile.
"... Silver Fresh... my love... you've come home," Gold said, as she smiled and hugged him with tears still in her eyes.
He hugged her back as a lone tear escaped the parasite side of his eye, and he whispered, "I'm home."
So, this story was shorter than the others, but that's how it rolls.
Next up... uh... I'm still deciding on which Sans to do next...
See ya soon. :)
