(Welp, there goes 2 hours of my life that I can never get back. It was worth it in my book.)
Asriel had maybe token a wrong term, at-least, he thought so, as the tunnel that he was in was now just a black void. He attempted to backtrack, but just found more of the void. What was this? Was he dead? Suddenly, a voice called out to him, although he did so as if he were right next to him.
?: Excellent work, Mr. Dreemurr.
That voice, it almost sounded like… Asriel quickly turned around to confront the voice.
Asriel: Sans? Is this one of your "jokes" that Papyrus complains about-
Suddenly, Asriel got a good look at him, and quickly realized that this was not Sans. in fact, it wasn't even a monster. It was a man wearing a suit, and holding a briefcase, at-least, he thought it was a man. The more he looked at him, the more he realized that this was something that was neither human or monster.
?: Sans Gaster, you say? Mr. Dreemurr, you wouldn't even be here if it were Sans Gaster…
The way this "Man", this G-Man, addressed his friend was almost horrifying.
Asriel: Then, who are you?
G-man: Perhaps who I am is not as Important as what I can… Offer you… in exchange for coming all this way to find me.
Suddenly, Asriel and the G-Man were teleported to what appeared to be a fleshy pillar surrounded by the void of space. However, just as quickly as they appeared, G-Man began talking again.
G-man: Some believe the fate of our worlds is inflexible.
Just as G-man finished his final word in his sentence, his face turned into something that gave Asriel a feeling of uneasiness, which was only made worse, when G-man Continued.
G-Man: My employers disagree.
Had Asriel not thought of this man as human already, then him splitting into multiple copies definitely did.
G-man: They authorize me to… nudge things in a particular direction from time to time.
Once again, both were teleported, this time back to the void. Asriel looked at G-man directly in front of him, only to hear him right next to his ear.
G-man: What would YOU want nudged, Mr. Dreemurr?
Asriel, in spite of his suspicion of G-man, answered.
Asriel: My father out of Jail… I want my father out of jail!
G-man: Ahhh. That would be a considerably large nudge. Too large, given the interests of my employers. But what if I could offer you something you don't know you want?
G-man offered his briefcase to Asriel, seemingly levitating it to him. Despite everything, Asriel still wanted to know, and grabbed the briefcase, only to be teleported to somewhere…..
Blood and dust. All Asriel could see for a few seconds was himself and the blood and dust of his friend, sans. Asriel looked on in shock and horror. What the hell? Is this real? Is this just a nightmare? Suddenly, 'Sans' fell, just in time for 'Asriel' to catch him.
'Asriel': Hang in there Sans! I'll- I'll think of something!
Asriel began questioning everything that had happened, despite how real it felt. In his eyes, he was witnessing the future, but that can't be, right?
Asriel: What the hell's going on?!
Betty held up 'Sans' soul, giving it to kumu. Asriel looked on in horror and fear, as tears streamed down his future self's face.
'Asriel': I'll… I-
'Sans': Asriel…
'Sans' interrupted 'Asriel', and told him something, something that he couldn't hear, thanks to G-man.
G-man: We are in the future. This is the moment where you watch your friend die. Unless…
Asriel: Unless? Unless what? Unless WHAT?!
G-man: Unless… you were to take matters into your own hands.
Suddenly, time began rewinding, to a point where 'Sans' was about to teleport, and the culprit was revealed; Jessica, who was just about to shoot him with a weapon of some sort. Just as quickly as it began, time stopped rewinding, and Asriel's sword appeared in his hand.
G-man: Save your friend, Mr. Dreemurr.
Asriel, although untrustworthy of G-man, didn't care for the consequences anymore, and stabbed Jessica right in the heart, killing her instantly.
G-man: Good. As a consequence of your action, this entity will continue. And this entity will not.
Asriel: Right. So Sans is OK, right? He's alive. He's not going to die.
G-man: You ARE aware that you've proven yourself to be of extraordinary value.
Suddenly, G-man was holding a crowbar, before tossing it back.
G-man: A previous hire has been unable — or unwilling — to perform the tasks laid before him.
Asriel looked over to where the crowbar was tossed to see a man in some sort of suit, dropping the crowbar, and picking up what he assumed was his glasses.
G-man: We have struggled to find a suitable replacement. Until now.
Asriel soon realized what he meant; he was going to be his puppet. Asriel soon called out to him, with tears streaming down his face.
Asriel: No! I don't want to work for you! Take me back to the tunnel! Please!
G-man: I'm afraid you misunderstand the situation, Mr. Dreemurr.
Suddenly, Asriel was in the void alone, stuck as his mere puppet. Asriel began sobbing to be let out.
Asriel: No! Please! I DON'T WANT TO DO THIS! PLEASE!
Asriel kept crying out, hoping someone, anyone, would hear him, yet no one did.

Status: Hired
AWAITING ASSIGNMENT
Frisk: I just wanted to apologise for what I said earlier...
I've always relied on my ability to "go back" to fix my mistakes... to make things better, it's hard to let go of that all of sudden I just don't want anyone to get hurt. I don't want you to get hurt. So... Would you forgive me Sans?
Frisk soon felt irritated, this wasn't working at all. Sans wouldn't forgive him for even considering that, yet he expects Sans to do the same.
Frisk: This isn't going to work…
Suddenly, Frisk heard the door open, he walked over, hoping to apologize for his mistakes, only to find a tired Sans holding on to the door, panting as if he had done a marathon, even though Sans never does marathons. Frisk went over to confront sans.
Frisk: Sans are you alright? What happened?
Sans didn't respond.
Frisk: Where's Asriel?
Sans soon stood up, and said something that would haunt his dreams forever.
Sans: He's gone, Frisk.
Frisk was, for the first time in years, crying, as his soul lost determination. However, that did not shock Sans as much as the figure behind Frisk.
Sans: You son of a bitch and your "Unforeseen consequences!" I knew I shouldn't have trusted you!
Frisk looked over, and saw the man, only noticing his suit and briefcase, before he vanished.
Sans: When I get my hands on you, I'm gonna…
Sans stopped, he realized that Frisk had been barely keeping his determination, much less his emotional state, and decided to stop.
Sans: W-We have to tell Gaster... and the others... Before HE hurts someone else… Kid, we got work to do.
Sans took out his hand, and with it, began a new chapter for this glitch.
