Chapter Two - The Forgotten Scientist
"I can't believe Sans just… *cries" Papyrus said as he covered his face and cried into his hands. Frisk pat his back in a attempted to make him feel better
"I know it's hard, but Sans… he did this for you. He did this so you could stop that gem guy, so you could make new friends like Frisk, Alphys… me." Undyne said holding back her tears.
"Thanks. But no new friends could ever be the same as Sans." Papyrus said. But then, a rumbling came from the ground and a giant skull came out of the pile of boulders.
"Sans?" Papyrus said confused as the skull shot out a laser beams that blasted the boulders into dust
"Hehehe, can't get rid of me that easily" said someone from the dust. Then, a skeleton came from the shadows.
"Sans!" Papyrus exclaimed as he ran over and came over and hugged Sans not letting him go.
"But how?" Undyne said
"What do you mean?" Sans said confused by her question
"I mean, how? You are this - No offence - super lazy skeleton that barely wants to get out of bed every day, and somehow out of nowhere, you just start blasting these death lasers out of giant skulls turning huge boulders to dust. And you somehow survived multiple enormous boulders falling on top of you. That what I mean by "how"." Undyne exclaimed extremely confused about what just happened.
"Well… it's a long story…" Sans said quietly
"We're all listening." Papyrus said
"Okay. The powers that I have like the bones and the "Gaster Blaster"..." Sans said until he was interrupted by Undyne.
"Gaster Blaster?, Did you name it that?" Undyne said "No. It just was kinda instinct or something. And me getting crushed by the boulders… well, that was just luck that I didn't get crushed." Sans said.
"Well it's great to see you again and you're alive and that's what is important." Papyrus said
"Well, as alive as us skeletons can get." Sans said as Papyrus laughed
"I think we should go to Alphys and see if she knows anything about this "Gem keeper". " Undyne said
"Good idea." Sans said
So they walked and it took about a hour to get to Hotland and to Alphys's lab.
"Hey Alphys, it's me, Undyne can you let us in." Undyne said
"Just a second!" Alphys said through the speaker on the left side of the door, then Alphys opened the door and let them in.
"So what do you guys need?" Alphys said while eating her Instant ramen noodles
"Do you know anything about "The Gem Keeper"." Undyne said
Alphys drop her ramen noodles "T-t-the Gem Keeper!?" Alphys gasped
"Yup." Sans replied
"He was the old royal scientist before me. He died 7 years ago though but that's basically all I know. But I do know that his real name was W. D. Gaster "W", "D" standing for wing dings."
"Gaster!?" everybody exclaimed
"Like Sans's Gaster Blaster!" Papyrus said
"You have the Gaster Blasters, THE Gaster Blaster!?" Alphys yelled
"That's right. Wanna see it?" Sans said
"Yes!" Alphys said. Sans snapped his fingers and the Gaster Blaster appeared out of thin air.
"Amazing! I tried recreating a Gaster Blaster from old blueprints I found when I was cleaning the lab but every time I tried making one my plans went down in flames - literally - the Gaster Blaster caught on fire and burned. It was very expensive for Asgore to fix the lab."
"But we need your help. We read a inscription a wall in a old cave that The Gem Keeper or Gaster, will destroy the world with a highly dangerous earthquake, killing all monsters and everybody that lives down here!" " Undyne said
"Oh no! That's horrible! I'll help you guys out if it means saving The Underground!" Alphys said
"But if he died 7 years ago how is he going to bring about the end of the world?" Papyrus asked
"Well, when I say he "died" he really fell into The Core but he didn't hit The Core's center. He kinda just disappeared before before he would've burned to death." Alphys said
"That weird and all but … where do we start our search for Gaster?" Papyrus said
"Well… I think we should start in his old lab." Alphys said.
