Chapter six:

Slim is having a bit of trouble finding any sign of where his brother could be. He is getting more and more desperate in his search.

Chara manages to catch up to Slim still wearing her cloak. "Papyrus!" She calls out getting his attention. "Maybe we should get more monsters to help us search." She lets him know even as no one else is around right now.

"No." Slim informs her surprising her at this immediate response. "If someone finds out that he might have been holding some kind of weakness back... Well... They could try to use that against him. They could either kill or hurt him when they find the chance. Being the captain of the royal guard he has gained a lot of enemies. These enemies are those who would be trying to find anything to use against him. So we need to keep this as quiet as possible."

Chara nods coming to understand such reasoning. "Lets look on our own."

Slim nods in agreement to this.

The two of them begin searching trying to not give away the truth.

Chara looks up when they are in waterfall. "What about up there?" She points upwards towards some cliffs when Slim turns to him.

Slim looks up and he nods in agreement. He takes Charas hand only to teleport them up onto one cliff.

The two of them look around the cliff area but there is nothing spotted around. So the two of them continue going up until they arrive to an upper cliff. They finally spot "Black" standing by the edge of one cliff his back to them.

"Sans!" Slim tries to move closer, letting Chara go, and upon hearing him "Black" turns around.

"So you found me." "Black" greets them. "Well I guess I'll just have to make sure you won't get in my way. If you could find me in my planned ambush." He raises a hand summoning some pointed bones around him facing them.

Slim moves quickly forward taking a few hits when the bones shoot towards him. He makes it to "Black" and puts his arms around him. He is doing this as he wonders if he can reach his brother like they did Chara.

"Black" suddenly stabs him in the stomach area making Slim gasp.

Slim still manages to keep his grip on his brother as he glows his soul. He is well aware that he is taking a huge risk. He just feels like it's very much worth it. He tries to reach out towards his brother. He feels something try to push him away. He can tell that it is not his brother. He tries to reach even further feeling a distant familiar magic. He tries to get it only to be slammed away just before he can reach his brother. He gets up ignoring the pain.

"Blacks" eyes are lit up in mahogany magic that just looks wrong to Slim.

Slim just reminds himself that it isn't his brother. "Please. Let me talk to my brother for a moment."

"Why?" "Black" questions becoming rather suspicious. "Isn't this how the other time went? I let you talk to my host then you find a way to make me leave my host. Well it wasn't you last time but my point still stands." He slams a foot on the ground at this. "I won't let you do it again! I am very capable of learning."

"Fine then." Slim keeps his guard up. "Then I'll talk to you." He keeps watch on everything about the other.

"There was never a choice." "Black" responds.

"So I noticed." Slim responds to this. "How about you tell me what made my brother accept you?"

"Black" pauses for a moment in uncertainty before a wide smirk came upon his face. "Alright then." He agrees to this taking a confident step forward. "I'm sure you'll rather leave us alone."

"I'll be the judge of that." Slim lets the other know.

"Well then. Let us begin with the more minor thing." "Black" moves a few steps closer to Slim. "With the fact that instead of pushing me out of Chara he let me become attached to me."

Slim listens to what "Black" has to say. He is sure that at least so far the words are true. He knows that this also explains why Black refused to have sex. He thought it was because Chara might hear but now he is sure it's because the entity would watch. He knows very well that Black prefers to keep moments such as sex between just them. He would however try to hide his indulgence in secret cuddles and such. He figures this is why Black still cuddled him and all.

"He feared that if you found out then you would leave or get upset with him." "Black" continues. "So I encouraged him to keep quiet. To protect his feelings."

Slim almost snaps that the entity did it to hold something against Black. He manages to keep quiet however.

"Then I found out something really bad." "Black" continues taking a few steps forward. "Did you know that he had taken action against the fallen humans? Killing them?"

"What!?" Slim can't keep quiet this time as his eyes widen in surprise.

"That's right. Then again I knew you didn't know. I figured it out when I found out. In the time we spent I got to know him pretty well." "Black" informs Slim. "That he lies in how he gained that LV." He takes one more step forward. "That he hid this truth. His his true feelings about the whole situation. About everything. Hiding even from you. He never cared about those he killed."

Slim clenches his teeth at this.

"Now that you know this are you still willing to try to save him?" "Black" asks of Slim.

"You're not sharing everything." Chara speaks up getting the twos attention. "If all he did was murder them and didn't care, then how do you explain me?!" She moves a little forward. "Why spend his time to save me? It's not because I could turn back time. He never once asked me about that or asked me to use it at all. He never tried to find out if I could turn back time without you. He never tried to kill me. They cared for me. Both of them. So I don't believe you when you say he didn't care about those kills."

"You know..." Slim looks away from Chara and down. His head turned to halfway between Chara and "Black". "He did know that Asgore tortures The humans that he finds. He told me because we found them together but then only my brother took them in. He was upset about the treatment Asgore showed them. But he had to act immune to it at the time." He snaps his head up to glare at "Black". "So you are lying about that. I think I understand now. He killed them to try to save them from the fate they'd face with Asgore. He didn't tell me in fear of what I might think of him killing humans seemingly without a second thought. Children or not. So you are saying some lies." He takes a step closer. "You twist the truth and I bet that's what you really did to get him to agree. You took truth and twisted it adding your own lies."

"Me?" "Black" pretends to be innocent.

"You pretended to be Frisk to convince Chara to go with you!" Slim points to "Black" and now you found ways to trick Sans into believing you! To agree to you!" He slams a foot on the ground.

"You fools!" "Black" shouts slamming his foot down on the ground hard.

Suddenly the cliff underneath Blacks feet crumbles with a line between Slim, Chara and "Black". This way only "Black" is falling.

"NO!" Slim rushes forward and reaches towards "Black".

"Blacks" eyes stop glowing but his changed eye lights are still there. He finds himself unable to stop himself from falling to the ground. He realizes that the real Black has cut off his magic leaving "Black" helpless. "What are you doing?" He questions the real Black. "You're going to get us killed!"

The answer comes from somewhere in his head but only "Black" seems to be able to hear it.

"I'm not your play thing. You shared my brothers reaction. I know how he really feels about all of this. I won't let you harm him or anyone in this world! I will take our fates into my own hands!"

"Black" shuts his eyes tightly ready to probably die from the impact of hitting the ground.
