CHAPTER 2: A New World

SANS: EMERALD FOREST

Sans realised it was morning once again. Finally another reset, a chance to redeem himself . After hearing what Chara talked about last time he wanted to try something different. Wanted to try to save and protect his love ones, from that demon, he was determined not to fail.

Sans couldn't wait to hear his brothers agitated voice, shouting at him to get his lazy bones down the stairs. For once Sans actually felt hope , thinking that this time he could stop the demon, before any damage was caused that he couldn't repair.

When Sans opened his eyes he expected to be on his bed, in his beloved messy room. Or even at his post half-asleep. But he was in neither locations when he opened his eyes. He was somewhere completely different. Sans was in a forest. He had never seen this place before it seemed odd. Not something that should or would be in the underground. Did the reset create this forest that seemed impossible.

Sans looked around at the forest surrounding him again, making sure that he wasn't hallucinating. When he looked had to admit it was a sight to see, which meant something coming from Sans, he never really thought anything of what places looked like. Sans span in a full circle taking in everything there was to see it was beautiful, every direction he looked magnificent trees stood, they went as far as his eye could see. He looked up at the ruby red leaves, they were alluring. However when Sans looked through the gaps between the leaves he realised something. Behind the leaves where colourful splashes of blue and white.

"i'm... i'm on the surface... how?"

Sans thought long and hard no idea on how he got here. Where was everyone else? Where was Papyrus? Where they all alright were they here too?

Sans started trying to figure out how he got on the surface. He couldn't have gone through the barrier as he didn't recall that being broken. There's also no way that he would of slept through the breaking of the barrier, he would definitely have been awake before then. Had the last reset caused this? It couldn't have though, this had never happened before. It wasn't impossible for that to have happened but it was highly unlikely.

Sans had been worrying so much that a collection of sweat was beginning to form on his head. On instinct Sans put his hand up to his head to remove the sweat, but stopping in shock when he saw his hand.

Normally where there had once been just bone, was skin. He had skin on top of his bones? How was that possible he's a skeleton not a human. Suddenly a jolt of realisation hit Sans, he really he hoped he was wrong, He looked around for a moment to then see a lake. Just what he needed. Sans hurried over to the lake in an instant hoping to prove himself wrong. However when Sans looked into the lake he realised he was right...

When he looked into the lake a boy stared back at him, he looked just barely 17. He had quite pale skin with bone-white hair, that was a complete mess. Sans looked over to his eyes in the lake, the lake showed that his pupil was pitch-black with a small iris in the middle. He double checked the water to make sure he wasn't imagining things. The reflection was still the same... he wasn't hallucinating?

Sans still felt as if this can't be real. He can't just change species and age that quick! So far everything was so different. You would of thought waking in up in a new world and body would of wiped his memory of the previous world completely, but it hadn't.

As one last resort to see if Sans was going insane he pinched his cheek, hoping that he'd wake up from whatever dream this was. He was surprised when he didn't wake up, that's what normally would of happened. He had had many dreams like this before. It was shocking to discover that this was not a dream, it was real life...

Sans looked down to see that there was skin everywhere. Anywhere that had bones, was now covered by a layer of skin. It shocked him, his legs were covered in skin, his arms, his face, his feat, his hands! Sans wondered if there were limitations to his magic. In the previous timelines he had found out humans had forgotten how to use their magic, or they were just too weak to use it. The human species had limitations, would he too?

Sans wondered for a moment if he could even still use his magic? Would it still be bones. He wasn't a skeleton after all anymore. Could his magic have stayed the same or would it be different like everything else so far?

Before Sans could even test out his magic, he heard a growl sound come from the bushes behind him. On pure instinct Sans kicked out of the way to dodge an attack. He looked up to see what attacked him to see a bear-like creature looking back.

The beast, had pitch-black fur covering every inch of his body. Emerging on top of the fur were spike shaped bones, piercing out of its back. On its shoulders and going down its arms where more flattened bones, acting as armour for the beast. At the end of each of the creatures paws were huge claws. From Sans first impressions on the creature was that it was a natural killer. When it first attacked Sans it looked like it didn't know what it was attacking, it just did it because it was born to. It was driven by the need to kill.

Sans knew there was no bother trying to spare this thing, he should just keep dodging its attacks until he finally killed the beast. But Sans was a bit curious he wanted to find out more about the beast. So he didn't attack it much, and dodged every attack the beast tried to land on him.

In the end Sans grew tired of what he was doing, he had learnt all he could while fighting it. He found out that the beast did feel pain, but didn't try to stop even with the some of the most fatal of wounds. It reminded him of Chara. She never gave up, no matter the pain she was in, always tried and tried until she finally succeeded. He would of admired her if she had not been a killer.

With a wave of his had he summoned 2 Gaster Blasters, getting ready to fire. The blasters began charging up. Before the beast could even react to these new floating skulls next to it, Sans blasted the beast until he felt it was dead. Which didn't take long surprisingly.

Looked over at the beast that had started to dust. 'so, a bit like us monsters then' he thought.

Sans realised that he had hardly broke a sweat through that entire fight. He still had a lot of energy left, so his human body didn't have a limitation, or just one that he didn't reach during that fight. He was glad he could summon the Gaster Blasters, it meant that he could still use his magic. That was one good thing about this world at least.

After a snapping out of his thoughts Sans realised he had to think of a plan, this place was bound to be crawling with more of those beasts. Unsure on what the plan of action would be, Sans slowly started walking through the woods, hoping that on his journey that he might find a sign of life that didn't try to kill him the moment it se its eyes on him. And hopefully help him out, help him find out what this place was and what ever that creature was.

As Sans walked on, he started to be more wary of his surroundings, at firsst he realised that the forest was quiet, almost too quiet. The only sounds being his shallow breathing, and footsteps accompanied by the wind. Sans felt safe, thinking that meant no more of those monsters around, however he also was worried. If there was no noise, was there any life? Surely he would be able to hear something, of maybe locals or just someone walking through the woods.
