Back at Alphy's Lab
Alphys was working hard, harder then she had ever done so before, Mettaton had somehow damaged himself "falling on the stairs" to be nearly broken beyond repaired, Alphys knew that wasn't the truth, Mettaton in his box form was invincible and had perfect gyro-like wheels that would automatically balance and calibrate distance.
She was almost finished too, sweat poured on her forehead as she worked harder than ever had before, manipulating metal with her electricity magic...
ZAP...-1 HP
Her magic had backfired on herself...impossible.
Even when Monsters are still learning to use their magic for the first time, it NEVER backfired on them, most of the time the magic bullet/shape would dissipate or just simply not show up.
She stops working for a second and examines her arm, there was burn marks starting from her claws all the way to her elbow...very interesting.
Alphys glances over at Mettaton, this new development was very interesting, he could wait a little while longer could he?
Tools are spread over Alphys work-table, instruments of magic measurements and vials lay across.
Alphys checks her non-burnt arm for any strange magic fluctuations.
MAGIC LEVELS AT 100%
She then proceeds to check her burnt arm, it didn't feel painful now but it sure was strange.
WARNING! STRANGE FLUCTUATIONS IN MAGIC LEVELS
MAGIC LEVELS AT 150%
WARNING WARNING WARNING
She sits there for several moments, taking it all in, this just all seemed so strange to her.
She felt like her magic in that arm was all gathering to the palm of the claw but then it slipped.
Like it felt like condensing the energy inside...
She needed to call an old friend of hers, taking a deep breath and attempting to fight the coward inside, the speed-dial goes through..
SNOWDIN - SENTRY STATION
Sans was having a good time...sleeping at his sentry station, gotta get those hours in the boring job somehow.
Ring!...Ring!...Ring!
He wakes up and lazily opens the call "yeah, wassup?"
"H-Heya sans! its Alphys here, i uhhh found something, y-you might want to come over...if possible" *click* She hangs up without a second to spare.
"hehehe, its been a while since alphs called me, sure to be interesting" Sans chuckled to himself. *CLICK*
Alphys Lab.
*CLICK*
"heya." Sans showed up behind Alphys
...Alphys screamed for a good second.
She then turned around in a rare moment of rage
"dont you ever do that again!" she huffed.
"heheh..sorry" sans said.
"on to other business, what did you call me over here for again?"
"Ah, right." Alphys leads sans to her workbench.
"Well i was working on repairing Mettaton because he "fell down the stairs" and while i was doing that, something strange happened..i felt my magic gathering to my palm and then a big zap came out and burned my palm to my elbow, and when i did some tests on my magic. the meter said i-it was 150% stronger then before..." Alphys trailed off..
Sans didn't reply just then but checked out what the magic measurement said, it was abnormal indeed, for any other normal monster. Sans was not a normal monster, only he knew what this meant.
He then turned to the other scientist "have you tried replicating it?
try re-tracing the steps of what you were doing, feeling and being during that time."
NICE TRY SANS BUT YOUR NOT GOING TO FIND HELP a small voice unheard by any-monster but sans echoed in his head
Sans eyes flashed dark for a second then regained their normal look.
This didn't went unnoticed by Alphys, she decided to ignore it anyways.
probably for the best
"U-Uh ok, ill try my best?" Alphys then tried to replicate what happened before.
...She just stood there awkwardly, trying her best.
2 minutes passed and she was still trying...
Finally after 3 minutes passed, she gave up for the night.
"W-Well it was worth a try, right!"
Sans shrugged. "True, so uh its getting late and my brother is surely worrying about me, see ya same time tommorow?"
"Hehe...yeah, i-ill see you tommorow then!" Alphys rubbed the back of her head awkwardly, embarassed that she just stood there for 3 minutes.
Sans just teleported away in front of her, no time wasted.
"Ill never get used to that..." Alphys decided to call it a night and go to bed.
After all, she was sure to be busy tommorow.
