"The CAPITAL…" Wander muttered, once the elevator doors sild open. The large lack of color was highly noticeable, with everything being a dreary shade of gray. Wander thought that a little color might liven the place, up but shortly during their travel through, they found a familiar looking house. It was almost exactly identical to Toriel's in every way, except for the fact that the kitchen was slightly different. Leaving the small house they came across a long balcony like walkway, and began to transverse their way down.
"H-Howdy…" A small, familiar, voice squeaked. Wander and Sylvia's head moved down to look at Flowey who had a nervous smile on his face. "You two have com pretty far on your own… Heh… Heh… So, did you see Smiley Tras…" Flowey paused, inhaled and continued. "Sans… Did you see Sans…?" Flowey asked.
"Yeah, we saw him… I kinda…. Blew up at him." Sylvia explained, and noticed Flowey's smile started to fade. "He was really angry, then he just teleported away… I want to find him so I can…" Sylvia was cut off by Flowey.
"You IDIOTS! Do you have any idea what Smiley Trashbag and I have been doing down here!? We've been risking our lives to keep yours safe, and now good ol' Smiley's probably going to be too pissed to keep the freak away from you! You've basically killed yourselves!" Flowey shouted, and Sylvia raised an eyebrow.
"The freak? Is that what's been posing such a big problem?" She asked, and Flowey nodded his head.
"I suppose I better tell you the truth now… Shouldn't I? As long as you had stayed on Sans' good side, there wasn't really any need for me to tell you… Listen up, it's going to be a long story…" Flowey said, before beginning to explain, from Frisk falling into the Underground, to their fall into murder and hatred. Flowey even had to explain the true nature of the Barrier, and the fact that they would be unable to leave… Unless…
"Unless Sans kills Frisk, and buys us enough time… We can give you each a Human Soul, and you can escape from the Underground…" Flowey was cut off.
"Flowey… You lied… Made things probably a lot more dangerous for us than it could have been… I'm gonna put my trust in you, one more time, and please don't make me be a bad judge of character…" Wander said, while Flowey sighed.
"You two should move on ahead, Sans is probably finished with the kid by now… Good luck… You're going to need it…"
Wander and Sylvia both entered the long corridor, what Flowey had referred to as the "JUDGMENT HALL", and they were startled when they saw Sans standing in the middle of the hallway, in the setting sun's light.
"How can there be sunlight here if we're underground?" Sylvia asked, but she already had a feeling of what the answer was.
"Light must be shining through the Barrier…" Wander replied, as the duo began to approach their skeletal friend.
"So you finally made it… The end of your journey is at hand." Sans paused, inhaled sharply, and continued. "In a few moments I will give you each a human soul… And you will leave the Underground forever." Sylvia decided to speak up, sighing.
"Sans, about before I wanted to apologize… I was just worried about Wander, besides your little Flower friend spilled the beans…" Sylvia muttered, and Sans gave a warm smile.
"That's in the past. Now. You will be judged. Based on the ways you've acted, your personalities, your hope, your kindness, I will judge you." Sans gave a quick explanation about LOVE and EXP, although they wouldn't have gained any here, there was a chance that they had hurt others before coming to the Underground.
Sans looked and Wander and stared, with their eyes locked for a long time, before Sans began to chuckle. "You... You never hurt anybody, 'least not on purpose. Not that you're completely innocent or naive. Just that you keep a great tenderness in your heart. No matter the hardships or struggles you face... You strive to do the right thing. You refuse to hurt anyone. Even when you run away, you do it with a smile. You never gained LOVE but... That's because you've already got plenty of love. Does that make sense? Maybe not." Sans turned and face Sylvia, once again locking eyes for a long time.
"You… You like to fight, you like to hurt others… Of course, I'm not talking about beating up anyone you meet on the street. You like to beat up the deserving, those who need a good knock or two on the head. Villains, monsters, generally bad guys, you help to keep them in line, to prevent them from picking in the little guy, right? Of course there were certain situations that you could have worked out peacefully, but because of your fighting spirit, you didn't see them. Now that you know this… What will you do now? Take a moment to think about this." Sans paused, while Sylvia began to think. What would she do now? She opened her mouth to speak, but Sans continued. "Truthfully, it doesn't really matter what you said. All that's important is that you were honest with yourself. What happens next… Is on your hands…" Sans stopped, his gaze seemed distant, like he was looking at something in the distance.
"Get behind me." Sans ordered.
"Wait, what?" Sylvia asked, but Sans yanked the duo back.
"I said, get behind me!" Sans shouted, this time, his left eye began to glow with a blue aura. They could see what had startled Sans, standing at the other end of the hall, was a human, short, with brown hair, wearing a blue and purple striped sweater, with a pair of shorts, and a pair of brown shoes. She held in her hand a glowing red knife. "So, you came back pretty early freak! You wanted to meet my friends, huh? Well, the last time you met my friends it didn't work out so well. You know sometimes I can still hear their voices… In the places where they died. So let's just get this over with… DIRTY BROTHER KILLER!" Sans shouted, rushing forward, and summoning bones that appeared out of thin air, before launching themselves at the human.
She grinned and quickly followed suit, rushing forward with a sharp toothed grin, red eyes glowing from the shadow that her hair made. She swung the blade at the skeleton, who dodged by sliding out of the way at an almost impossible speed. "Still haven't learned huh?" Sans asked, while bones launched through the air, several of them making contact with the human. She fell back, and grabbed onto one of the bones that Sans had fired, which was lodged in her shoulder, before forcefully yanking it out. Wander and Sylvia were both horrified and yet, mystified as well. Mostly because of Sans' fighting style, but Sylvia came to her senses, before grabbing Wander, and rushing behind of the large pillars. They peeked out to watch Sans fight, just hoping that he would be okay.
Sans had summoned several dragon like skulls, which quickly began to fire beams of magic in rapid bursts. However, the human was able to avoid almost every one of these attacks, and the ones that did hit, seemed to do nothing. Sans couldn't help but be shocked, the kid must have almost all of his moves memorized by now… There was nothing Sans could do, but hope to outlast her. Sans kept attacking, dodging and repeating, until he landed a powerful attack on the human, knocking her down onto the ground, while the knife she had skittered across the stone floor.
"Well, well, well… You had worried there… Thought you might actually kill me… Unfortunately for you, I've got very important things to do, and can't be bothered to play with you right now. So, I guess this is another goodbye…" Sans muttered, summoning another of the giant dragon skulls, which hovered over the child. He was just about to give the order for it to attack, but in a quick motion the human rolled out from under Sans, and swept her legs into his feet, knocking him to the ground. She rushed over, grabbed her knife and tried to attack the skeleton, who had gotten to his feet and barely managed to dodge, the knife sliced through the edge of his jacket.
Sans' eyes widened as he flinched backwards, not expecting the sudden attack. "Geez kiddo… You really want me dead this time… Well guess what? You're gonna have to work for it." Sans once again summoned a large collection of bones and quickly began to fire them off at the human, who continued to avoid them all. Sylvia and Wander couldn't believe it, and then suddenly there was a loud scream of pain… The human fell to their knees, then onto her stomach, she didn't move, she didn't even twitch. Sans began to laugh, apparently content with this murderous display. "GET DUNKED ON!" He shouted, while a red heart appeared above the human's body. Sans turned and began to approach Wander and Sylvia with a large grin. They couldn't take their eyes off the heart, and watched as it split in half…
"All right, I just need to get you two the Human Souls, and then we can get you two out of here…" Sans said, but Wander's eyes widened when he saw the heart floating above the human reform. In the blink of an eye, Sans had a large slash cut through him, blood began to drip from his jacket and he placed his hands against his wound.
"Oh… So... guess that's it, huh? ... Just... Don't say I… I didn't warn you. Wander... Sylvia... I'm sorry I couldn't protect you... Don't worry Papyrus... I'm... comin' bro..." Sans collapsed into a pile on the floor, and he slowly turned to dust, leaving his clothes lying on the ground, while a gray upside down heart shook in the air. The human slashed at it with her knife, breaking the heart into several fragments, which disappeared the moment they hit the ground. She began stabbing at Sans' clothing, her maniacal laughter filled the JUDEGEMNET HALL, before she turned to face the duo. Slowly she began to approach, while the ghostly voice once again filled the room.
"Seeing these two tremble in fear…" She lifted her knife to attack. "Fills you with DETERMINATION…"
THE END…
Author's Note: MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! What? Were you expecting a happy ending? Of course not! If you've read some of my other stories, then you'd know I'm a sick f**k. So, I'm kind of sad to see this end, but I really want to work on other things, I just wanted to make my first Undertale fic.
Don't worry friends, I've got more stories to tell… But right now I can see the weariness in your eyes, so go home, get some rest, and come back tomorrow… Now, I sit by my fire… And I relax… - King Xeno.
