They stayed at the MMT resort for the night..day..whatever time it was, it was basically that they were both pretty tired after the journey. Sans laid half on his bed, staring up at the ceiling. "I don't have that special power anymore. This time will be it.." Frisk's words rang in his head. "Frisk.." There was a knocking at his hotel door and he laughed, not wanting to miss up this chance. "whose there? i didn't expect to wake up to a knock knock joke." "Hehe. whose." "whose who?" "Hey, don't cry. I just wanted to come in and talk." Sans laughed, "yeah, come on in." "Um..ok..your lights were off. I didn't actually wake you did I?" "nah. but thanks for taking a shot in the dark." He winked at the closed door. He heard Frisk's hand clench the door handle. "Remember how I told you about the timelines I've gone through." "yes." "every time, I stayed with Toriel, you would still tell me jokes and stories through the door. Even after meeting you in person, I was always afraid to leave to early or something. I didn't want to leave and one of the times you not be there." "hey. i'm a sentry too. it's my job to watch the ruins." "That you never do?" "ya got me." She opened the door hesitating. "Um..ok..don't..don't look at me ok?" "you got a surprise for me?" "Kinda. Just..cover your eyes" "ok ok kid." He covered his eye sockets laughing. Sans heard the door shut and feet clatter against the floor as she walked closer. "I...I know that we are just friends...but..I can't tell you that I promise to come back tomorrow. I wanted to spend a night with you..as adults..I mean...you still call me kid and stuff so I understand if you say no but.." Sans opened his eyes confused and stiffened up, his joints all locked up. Frisk stood there, blanket covering most of her body as her hands clenched tightly on it over her chest. "k k kid. i care about you but.." "I..I know, I'm sorry I made it weird. I can go I'm sos s orry." She stopped, looking down at her heart and seeing it glow slightly blue. "don't go." Her hand set atop of it and turned slightly, blushing. Sans lowered his hand, eye stopped glowing. "it's not weird." He turned his hand over and she walked over placing her hand in it. "w w what did you have in mind?"

He guiding Frisk to sit beside him. "Could...could I kiss you?" "um..i guess so." He waited for a kiss on the cheek or something like she used too, but when he turned after not getting one, Frisk kissed him on his..mouth. After a second pulled backing, seeing his eyes blacked out. "I'm sorry! I guess I should have been more specific. I just keep messing this night up." His hand grabbed her shoulders and pulled her in for another kiss. He felt her relax in his hands and deepen the kiss. She thought it felt strange, having no lips or skin, but..it felt the most amazing thing in the world. Her heart began raising. Her hands hesitantly pulled up from the blanket and placed in his lap. Sans ran his fingers down her shoulders, causing her to shutter and she pulled back, staring down at him. He stared at her, completely focused on nothing but her, causing her to blush more. She was expecting some kind of pun but he remained quiet, watching his own hands travel up and down her arm. There was more markings on her chest plate. A simple blue fire with an upside down heart in it. "Frisk..is that me?" Sans asked and she looked down, placing her fingers on it. "Maybe...you..were my last thought before I di...no..none of that right now." He grabbed her hand, intertwining his fingers with hers. "its..strange..your bone just like me but somehow you feel...almost softer and delicate..or i've just become a big softy." Somehow, her skeleton frame was so different then his and his brothers. He couldn't keep his hands off, but was gentle and never placed his fingers where she was covered. Frisk smiled. "Thank you Sans. For everything. For being my best friend. Don't tell Papyrus or Undyne. For always being there with me..somehow..even when I couldn't see you. Your phone calls and puns and everything. I hope..tomorrow you will forgive me." Sans blinked, not understanding what she was talking about but almost didn't care as she leaned forward to kiss him again. After a moment he pulled back and his face almost turned pale, pulling back. "What?" She placed her hand on her face and saw her reflection in the mirror on the back of the hotel door. Her right eye was glowing red with almost a magic flare coming from it.

She jumped up, pulling back. "Leave me alone!" She grabbed a nearby lamp and pulled the plug throwing it at the mirror and smashing it. "What am I?!" She grabbed the other lamp when Sans grabbed her hands. "you know that's 7 years of bad luck." Tears were pouring down Frisk's as Sans pulled the lamp from her grip, placing it on the ground. He pulled her close and held her until his eye started glowing. "you are Frisk. don't forget that." Her arms raised and hugged him back, her eyes fading as she sunk to the on top of him. "hey...it's alright..sleep before the nightmare." Sans said as he helped her to his bed and watched her sleep, hands rested on his head, held up by his elbows. "who was she so afraid of.." The alarm went off in the morning, and by the alarm, it was Mettaton's morning new reports that broadcasted in every room. Sans turned over and saw Frisk was no longer there. He searched around the room and the room she had originally signed out for the night, finding nothing. He pulled his hoodie on and felt something in his pocket. It was a letter to him. Frisk had left early before he awoke. The note went on about how she had to do this herself, but she was scared because she wasn't human anymore and wasn't sure if she could do anything. He blushed as the letter went on about last night and that she had dreamed of it for so long and apologized that she made it weird. Sans hand clenched tighter onto the paper before he ran out of the hotel and towards the core. Frisk's footsteps echoed through out the castle. Her heart raced as she approached the stairway, staring down at it. "In the end..it's only me." She whispered and headed down the stairs, hearing the giant king humming a tune to himself. "Oh?" He turned, seeing the skeleton woman enter the garden. "I have not seen your face around here before. Are you new to New Home? Can I offer you a cup of...tea.." He saw the human soul pulse through Frisk's body. "Oh..you..are the human?" "Yes Asgore..I am Frisk." "It is nice to meet you Frisk..but you know what must be done." "No listen. It doesn't have to be that way. I've traveled far into the caverns. I found another way. We don't have to fight. We don't have to kill anyone anymore. You have more power then you think. You can break the barrier as it is! The prophecy is missing a whole piece."

The man smiled as a sad smile. "That would be nice. But there is no other way. When you are ready to fight.." "No! I refuse to fight. I know your watching Flowery! There is another way! I told you this way would be different!" "HUMAN WAIT!" She turned back, seeing all her friends run into the garden. "We woke up and you were just gone! What the heck?! Do you think we wouldn't help you?" Undyne said, cracking her neck. "Your still Frisk, even if your not human anymore, we want to help you get back to the surface." Alphys said, adjusting her glasses. "WE ARE ALL HERE WITH YOU FRISK. AND WE WENT AND GOT HELP." Frisk tensed up, seeing Toriel enter the room, staring at the skeleton woman. "M..mom.?" Toriels hand rose to her mouth, "My child is that?" Frisk started crying and ran towards her before suddenly stopping, the room filled with cries of her name. She stared down at her chest, seeing a large and thorny vine protruding through her rib cage, having shattered a fraction of them and gripped around her heart. A maniacal laugh filled the air as magic bullets appeared out of no where and and struck everyone down. "Do you really think this will be any different?" They watched a golden flower appear in the room, a look of evil on his face. "We've been down this road before haven't we? No..no this one is new. You were stupid and tricked all your friends into coming down here, and now their souls are mine! I will be unstoppable!" Vines wrapped around everyone as they extended through out the castle. She watched them all rise up to the ceiling, lives draining from them. "Its you isn't it Chara?!" "Part of me! So glad you noticed." Frisk fell down onto her knees, staring down at the shiny floor, seeing her once human self in the reflection, but it wasn't her eyes. The glowed back the blood red that the fallen human was obsessed with. "Good-bye Frisk. Don't come back." Her heart shattered as her body fell to the ground, completely lifeless. "HEHE HAHAHAH! THE POWER IS MINE!"

"hey. did i miss the party?" A bone flew through the vine as a broken red heart stayed there. "WHAT?! HOW DID I MISS YOU SMILING WASTE OF A SKULL!?" "i guess i'm wasting your time huh? come here kid." He raised his hand over the broken heart, grabbing it gently. "she's still alive you know." "It matters not! Once I get your soul as well, I will have all the strongest monsters here!" "Sans." He stared down at the broken soul in his hand. "Do you know what happens when a monster absorbs a human soul?" "i've heard...I can't do that to you.." "It's ok. Look at me. I'm barley a soul left..half of me is Chara...the fallen human..please Sans. Do it for everyone. Do it for your brother. Do it for me. I know you gave up on the timelines, but there won't be any after this. If he gets his way. It will all be gone. There won't be a tomorrow." Sans eyes went black as his left one started glowing. "you once told me stories about a powerful skeleton in your human lore who was a guardian of souls, a keeper of sorts. he judged them and took them to where they deserved. hey. i like judging souls as much as the next guy." Sans stepped back as Flowey turned into a giant and hideous monster, his laugh filling the air as the plants of the garden began to die out. He was absorbing all the life in the underground. Soon ever monster would be sucked dry and would fall. "hehe. this is what happens when people like me get lazy." Frisk's soul raised from his hand and absorbed into his body. He clenched his chest tightly as it was slowly engulfed in a blue flame. The flames vanished and he stood up, one eye glowing his blue, the other glowing her red. Pairs of wings expanded from his body, as his face remained blacken out under his hood, only his grin could be seen. "buddy. Your gonna have a bad time." "What the hell are you?!" Flowery's vines lifted and flew fast to strick at him. Sans took to the sky, summoning bones after another to counter the monster's attacks. "i guess you can call me." He landed up on a pillar, exposing his dark and grim appearance. "the grim reaper."

"Be careful Sans. I know you don't have a lot of life." "hey. you trust me right?" "I have no choice at this point huh? Be careful." A large cascade of bullets came flying towards them as he summoned a large skeleton head, firing a lazer out and destroyed all the bullets. "Don't you get it? You can't stop me. I have the strength of all their souls! All the human souls! They are mine! I already have half of your human freak there. I WILL HAVE HER OTHER HALF!" "i guess you'd have to take me then." Sans grinned widely, summoning a barrage of bones hovering in the air. "cause i'm her other half now!" Sans felt her soul racing inside him. What little was left had so much power he couldn't describe. It made him feel alive again. He didn't want to sit around and watch all this just happen over and over anymore. It was warm and inviting and filled him with adrenaline. "what am I feeling?" "Determination. This is what it feels like. But I think everyone has a little determination in them." "i love it! i might hold onto your soul for a while." "I gave you my soul already Sans.." Sans blushed slightly, getting distracted and was pinned to the ground by one of the large giant mouths. "Whats wrong? Did the human say something mushy? Did she say she loved you? That your her soulmate. That's cute." "what?" Sans's fist tightened. "No. I told him to kick your ass!" Frisk said, through Sans. They were one being, right down to their literal soul. The mouth's eyes looked up, seeing the Gaster Blasters there as they destroyed Flowey's one hand. "Damn it! YOU WILL DIE NOW FRISK!" Sans took to the air and dodged more attacks, getting tired. He was lazy, he wasn't actually the strongest fighter, despite his powerful magic and Frisk's determination took a lot of energy to use. "Sans. I can hear them. Everyone's souls are still trapped in there. Your gonna be my grim reaper right?" "i see what your saying." He stopped moving, blocking Flowey's attacks. "see the thing is flower. if that you don't have a right to decide what happens to anyone's souls. but right now. I do!" He charged right into the mouth of the monster and entered in only blackness.

"Frisk where are we?" "Inside Flowelys soul if I had to guess." Sans stopped and landed, walking through the darkness, hearing his footsteps echo. "so what other cool things does the grim reaper do?" "He is death." Sans stopped moving. "He represents death and decay. He is unable to touch anything living without killing it. But he is almost misunderstood. He doesn't hate life. It's just what he was born into I guess. Like you said. He's a guardian of souls. A guide. He keeps them from becoming lost in purgatory..unless they deserve it I guess...everyone in here's a lost soul. I can feel it. They don't remember who they are. You have to guide them Sans. You have to save them." "we will save them kid. don't worry." A bright light flashed around them as the royal family wondered about the emptiness. Their faces were blurred out and unrecognizable. "M..Mom." Sans slowed down. "Mom!" Frisk's voice echoed out from Sans. "They are all gone. I couldn't protect any of them.." "Mom." Sans's feet moved on their own as he started up at the tall goat. "Mom. I'm here now. I'm sorry I just..disappeared for so long...but I can keep more people from dieing...maybe...maybe afterwards you can show me how you make your pie. I love butterscotch, but the way you add cinnamon makes it taste so much better!" "My child..you said you didn't dislike cinnamon." "uh Frisk. what are you doing?" Before he knew it, he was hugging Toriel as her soul found it's way back to them, her face visible once again. Sans blushed as she realized who it was and pushed him back. "Who? You should not trick me like that!" "i guess i owe you a treat then huh?" She snickered slightly, "Your voice. Your my pun buddy." "i had a promise to keep huh." "No Mom it's alright." Her hand rose to her mouth as Frisk's voice came from Sans who just shrugged his shoulders. "It's ok. San's is holding onto my soul. He's keeping it safe, but we need your help. We have to save Asgore as well." "What did that idiot do now?" "It's ok. Please Mom..try to be nice." She signed, turning towards the other goat. "Look Asgore. I hate what you've done. I did love you once, but I don't see that king anymore and..well you are still a good king. You've made everyone so miserable after our sons death..but...you've also giving everything to make them happy." "There is no other way." Asgore said, barely moving about. "Asgore. If you'll let me. I'd like to have that cup of tea you offered. We can talk about how to open the barrier without sacrifice" Toriel sighed, "You do make a very good tea."

"It's made with the freshest flower petals." The fogginess vanished and he smiled. "I will definitely make you all some as soon as I can..where are we anyway?" Sans smiled, taking to the air, "keep walking towards the light and be careful." "Thank you Sans...take care of my child." Toriel said as she grabbed Asgores ear, pulling him off. They vanished in the light and Sans fell on the ground, holding his chest. "what's wrong?" "It's..it's nothing. I'm sorry. I'm starting to feel weak. It's OK. Keep going." He stood up and took off. "you know, I've always wanted to fly. thought it'd be interesting. just couldn't get a flight plan." Frisk chuckled as they suddenly came to a speeding stop, causing him to almost tumble over his face. "Undyne!" She was wondering about, holding her arms. They had never seen her look so vulnerable. "It's all the humans fault. We need 7 souls..." "Punch her." "what?!" "No trust me. Gently hit her, like your weak. With your fist please, not a bone." Sans walked up to her, frowning, but trusted the soul and did what she said. "You can't punch for shit." Undyne looked down at them. "Undyne! Remember. I couldn't hurt a fly. I punch like a wuss. But you know what. I'm determined just like you are, to do the right thing. I want to save everyone, but I'm not strong enough. The monsters need a hero." "You punch like a wuss. You need to put more passion into each throw! Like a raging fire!" She punched the air as her face became whole again. "Like when I burned your house down!" "Yeah like when..ehh.. Sans?" "yo." "I thought I heard." "let's say, i'm feeling a little two faced." She leaned over looking into San's eyes, "You ate the human soul. Oh my god, what the fuck Sans." "It's alright. He's just saving it for later." Sans chuckled and Undyne held her head screaming. "THIS ISN'T RIGHT?!" "Undyne focus! We need your help to save Alphys." "Whats wrong with my Alphys!? Come on!" Sans chased after Undyne before the came across the wondering scientist, rambling to herself about how it's all her fault. There's no solutions. There's no answers.

"Alphys." Undyne grabbed her shoulders, kneeling down, "Hey. Hey stay with me. What's wrong with her?!" "She's a lost soul..just like you were a bit ago." "i'd still say we are pretty lost." "Sans! Seriously Aphlys please come back to me." Sans hand rested on Undyne's shoulder. "Alphys. I'm sorry about what happened..with the experiments. But you have to listen to me now. We need you." "No one needs trash." "I DO!" Undyne actually started to tear up. "Please Alyphs." "Besides. I promised you a date remember?! You have to show me Mew Mew..uh..I can't remember the name." "just don't tell her that 2 is better." Sans said, shrugging his shoulders. "2 is trash! It totally ruins her whole character and development. And the new redesign. Her ears look awful...Undyne? Why are you crying? And Sans? I didn't know you even liked anime." Undyne looked into her cleared face and wiped her eye. "He doesn't." Alphys gasped, walking over and grabbing Sans face. He began to sweat nervously. "Is..is Frisk in there?" "Yes. I'll explain it later. You two must head for the light. Keep going that way and don't stop." "But how is it that?" Undyne picked her up and started running off towards the exit. Sans held his head, feeling like his soul was gonna be torn in two, but he took a deep breath and composed himself. "what is happening?" "It's ok. You know who is left." "i know." They continued forward on foot, coming to a stop as they approached the back of a tall skeleton." "hey paps." "NEYH.." "hey buddy, old pal, it's me." "HUMANS ARE BAD RIGHT. WE MUST CAPTURE THEM. THEN I WILL BE IN THE ROYAL GUARD." "sure they are bad, but they aren't quite, bad to the bone~" "SANS?" "Papayrus. So I have a new puzzle I need your help with!" "I LIKE PUZZLES." "Yeah. And afterwards maybe you can make dinner. I heard your really good at spaghetti making." "I AM. THANK YOU." He said kinda melancholy. "are you kidding. My brother is so cool. he is the bestghetti and spaghetti." "SANS! YOUR PUNS!" Sans felt a weight lighten as his bothers face started to come back into view. "What? What is taking you so long. You saved all the other souls. Or are you really that weak you can't even save your own brother?!"

Sans collapsed on the ground, turning back to his normal self. "Frisk!" He watched the red soul pull from his body and fly off into the darkness. "what have you done to her?!" He felt a hand on his shoulder and looked up, seeing Papayru's face again. "bro." "SANS. YOU MUST GO TO HER." "i." "DON'T BE LAZY FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE SANS. SHE NEEDS YOU. YOU LOVE HER DON'T YOU." "i." "COME ON. THE GREAT PAPYRUS BELIEVES IN YOU. BESIDES IF YOU LOVE HER AS MUCH AS I LOVE YOU BIG BROTHER. THEN YOU CAN'T FAIL. NOW IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME. I WOULD LIKE TO GO SEE WHAT THAT LIGHT IT. IT HAS ME CURIOUS." Sans grabbed his brother, hugging him from behind. "do you think i can actually do something like this." "OF COURSE. I HAVE A PRETTY COOL BROTHER..EVEN IF HE"S LAZY AND HAS TERRIBLE JOKES." "well i didn't mean for my jokes to brother you." "AH SEE THERE. THAT RIGHT THERE. GO! NEYH HEHHE!" He ran off towards the light as Sans found himself alone, in the dark, hearing a woman's laugh. "Come on Sans! Come join us in here." San took a deep breath and put his hands in his pockets, continuing forward until he came across a small patch of golden flowers. He looked to see a human woman there, only a feet or few taller then him. Beside her stood a small tiny goat in an old yellow and green sweater. He had something clenched tightly in his hands. "What do you think Sans?" The woman posed, fluffing her hair. "It's sucks that I'm in a woman's body, but hey, gotta take bodies where they come huh? It's not a bad body huh? Her real body. You could have this. Flesh and blood. Human. I'm all that Frisk was." Sans laughed. "yeah. see the thing is. you sound nothing like her." "Oh. But she is here." Chara held up half a broke heart, it was dark red, almost faded black. "See. When she first fell into the underground, I knew of her existence. But Flowely here got to her first." She petted the goats head. "I had to wait for her to die first. Then when her soul was finding it's way back from the reset, I took over. Further proving that kindness isn't strength." "I don't wanna do this anymore. I'm sorry." The goat child said, tearing up. "Quiet you."

"And why are you helping her anyway? She killed you remember?" Sans stared blankly and she walked over, lifting him up by his coat collar. "Didn't you enjoy her soul inside you? The power of human determination? It's intoxicating isn't it? Let me show you what she didn't tell you." Chara forced the dark heart into San's body and dropped him. "You see. She told you about the resets. But did she tell you about how she went and killed everyone?" Sans felt all the dark memories Frisk had inside her swarm over him, he crouched over and threw up slightly. It was all too much. "She went though and slaughtered them all merciless." Sans held his chest as he watched the memory of everyone be killed, Undyne, Mettaton, Toriel. "And your brother. That one was rich. He wouldn't even fight back. Still believed there was good in everyone. Bah." Sans crawled back as he watch his brother stand there, arms open and turned to dust as it covered Frisk's body. "I couldn't bare to see you cry again." Chara pulled him to his feet, hands resting on his shoulders, "Watch this one. It's my favorite. IT's when." She leaned over, whispering in his ear. "You die." Sans watched his own death and Chara laughed, playing it back over and over. "Didn't you know? If she loved you so much, then why did she kill you without hesitation." "heh. i'm tired of people assuming that i mean that much to her." "Didn't you know? Or are you that in denial of things outside your control?" His phone started ringing and he picked it up. "Wake up Sans." His eyes came back and he saw the goat standing there. "It wasn't her." He said, staring up at Sans. "It was him. It was Chara the whole time." He watched as the memories shifted from Frisk's point of view to an outside view..to Asriels as he watched as Flowerly. He saw the red eyes and creepy smile painted on Frisk's face, the knife tight in her hand. The sweater was stained with dust as it appears to have been changed..possibly at Toriel's. He knew the story of the fallen child. Everyone did. That the king's son Asriel had tried to take him back to the human village and was slain for it. According to the memories he saw of Alphy's lab, he was the flower the whole time..what was left of him. Was was left was Chara. But at this rate, San's didn't care anymore.

"heh. of course. i knew the kid didn't have a bad bone in her body." "Ugh. Yeah, that's why I had to kill her." The memory showed the night of the last phone call. He watched as Frisk fought the knife in her hand, seeing the reflection of Chara forcing her own hand. Frisk looked thin and tired in the flashback, like she had been alone in that darkness for so long. A voice called through his still active phone. "I was on my way and took a wrong turn. It wasn't till then I realized that Chara had forced me the wrong way, weakening me so that he could possible take his bits of soul still trapped in mine back. He..left me to die but.." Sans felt his heart glow slightly seeing Frisk dialing her phone. "At least I didn't die alone. I got to talk to everyone last time. I got to hear you again Sans..I had you till the very end." He heard their last conversation all over again. The one that almost destroyed his life had he not already given up. "kid." Sans hung up the phone, finally seeing past the memory to Chara standing there, knife brushing against his neck. "Give me your soul Sans. With yours, I can easily get anyone's back for my use." "see the thing is, my soul isn't yours to take." Chara looked up as Sans started laughing, "And neither is Frisk's." Four Gaster Blasters hovered above her, charging their beams as Chara stepped back. "You would kill your lover to stop me?" "i don't have too. She isn't in you anymore. She's safe now." He watched as Chara burned before him, in a gruesome fashion. Chara laughed as he reached out his hand towards the short skeleton. "You can't do anything. Tomorrow will never come. You will all die. You will all reset. You will all die again. You will all reset..and again, you will die. Hahahha!" The sweater was the last thing to last before dissolving into dust with the rest of the remains. "Thank you..Chara..is gone now..It won't be long before I lose myself in Flowlery again..but she did what she promised..she reached a different ending. Tomorrow will come. I have the power to open the barrier with the human souls we stole..I will set them free afterwards I promise."

He looked around, seeing nothing but darkness as he approached the goat, whose hand still clasped tightly shut. "am i blind or is it still dark in here." "There is still one more lost soul." The child said, opening his hands, holding the faded half of heart. "Frisk.." Sans walked forward as everything faded to white. He saw a child sitting in a small field of gold flowers, their face was completely whited out just like the other souls. He recognized the purple and blue sweater of the human child that landed in their lives so many years ago. "so kid." "Sans..you do mean something to me...I know you think everyone was playing a game with you..here. I want to show you something. I want to show you what Chara wouldn't." The child looked up at Sans who had come to sit beside her, holding out her hand as he gently took the soul from her. Images flashed before his eyes. He watched as memories of Frisk's journey played out before him. He looked down and saw the child climbing down some hills before slipping and tumbling down. She started crying and held her leg as blood ran down it from a cut. Sans walked over, knelling down to help but couldn't do anything but watch. The child reached into her pocket pulling out a phone. Sans phone rang in his pocket as he hesitantly answered it. "kid?" It was a phone conversation he first had with her when she left for her journey. He smiled slightly as it was like he was there with her. The longer he watched everything, the more he couldn't hold it back. Sans started to tear up as he watched Frisk adventure and grow before his eyes. "I wanted to show you so many things. The race of fuzzy snails; when I was strong enough to climb up a cliff side all by myself..I mean, it was a little one but...that one there." He stared at the memory of Frisk stumbling over a paper in her hand, pencil in her mouth. She stood about his height now. "I spent so long working on that letter. Do you remember that call? It was the only before the last..when I didn't call for a long time. I realized that the further down the cavern I went, the weaker the signal got...I just couldn't come up with the perfect pun to tell you how I feel. So I didn't" She chuckled.

Sans watched it all fade away to Frisk laying on the ground, the night she was killed. "No Sans." It all vanished and he was sitting back in the flowers. "Did you know there is a missing piece of the prophecy." Sans looked over, tears still falling from his eye as he saw the child was now adult Frisk. Her face was still blurred out but he could see her smile. "The barrier was to keep monsters in and humans out. But it wasn't just put up as such. During the war, there was humans and monsters that didn't want to be a part of it. They still lived in peace on their own, at the base of this mountain. They eventually learned that this way of life just wouldn't work. Maybe..someday in the future they could but until the war was over. The barrier was put up by a powerful monster and a wise human..they were soulmates." "whats a soulmate? Chara said that as well." "They say when souls are created, they are only created in halves..well, figuratively. When two soulmates find each other, they are said to be more powerful then they ever were alone. Two hearts that resonate with each other. Their power combined put up the barrier, forcing them to separate from each other to keep everyone safe." Sans looked down at his heart, seeing it glowing slightly. "I went up to the mountain when I was little..I didn't have the best life...but something told me that I should climb it. I don't know why...but something called me up there. I don't know I thought maybe...this was where my destiny laid..you know...I..really loved being with everyone..I loved everyone...I felt a real connection being there and you know what. I was happy. I wanted everyone to be happy like I felt..but even behind everyone's smile, I could feel it. They all wanted to go see the surface..I had grown not to miss the surface..but everyone had a right to go see it. I had to go solve how." "Frisk?" "You know..I.I thought for a while that we might..ah..but you still just see me as a kid." She signed. "It's ok...i loved my life..I wish I could have taken you with me. But I've done the best I have.." They sat there in the silence for a bit. Sans looked down at her hand resting on the ground and slowly reached his over, hesitating.

"So..I guess you need to set me free. Sans?" The soul looked over seeing Sans tear up. "Sans?" "you didn't make it awkward!" Frisk blinked. "the night at the hotel..i loved it..i didn't want it to end..i..i gave up on basic trying anymore..you saw that when I faced Chara..damn it..but when you were here..when you..came back, i felt like there was nothing in the world that could bring me down." Sans started crying. "Sans I have to tell you something..it's why I think I'm hanging around. Sans I.." "i love you Frisk!" Sans put his hand on his face. "oh god. there it is. everyone keep telling me. Mettaton..even my brother..even that soul eating wanna be..i love you..i love you and it's too late. Frisk maybe i'm..i'm the lost soul." He tensed up as she hugged him. She was soft and warm and living life..and yet...he craved her skeleton body. This didn't feel like Frisk anymore..but his soul said other wise..he could feel her inside him. "Sans. Promise you won't let me become lost down here. Keep my soul safe until you reach the surface." "Frisk..please come back.." "They heard the muffled voices of people outside.. "Go to them Sans. They need you more then they need me." "i do need you." "Your not lost anymore Sans..don't worry. I'm always there with you, even if you can't see me." He clenched onto her tighter as the vision all vanished from his eyes. "He's moving." "OH THANK GOODNESS! SANS! I WAS SO WORRIED!" Sans opened his eyes ,seeing him in the arms of his brother. "Paps..." "DON'T LEAVE ME LIKE THAT AGAIN! I NEED YOU BROTHER!" "Yeah dude. Like seriously. It's cool that you saved us but it's not worth your own life." "What's in your hand Sans?" Alphys walked over, as Sans stood up, holding his chest. "where is Frisk?" They looked over at Toriel holding the skeleton. "She feels cold..why haven't she turned to dust?" "She's still got a human soul." The scientist said. "not much." They looked at Sans holding the half soul in his hands as it was faded in color. "Not the child." The ex queen gasped, holding her closer. "Alphys. your tests. they could work on a human right?!" "What?! How do you know about them?" "she showed me everything..please...is there..anything?" "She barley has much a soul left...I can try...she might take to determination injections better then a monster...I will try." Sans leaned over, lifting her up and carried her after Alphys.
