A/N: Ok I hate to be "That Guy" but I would really appreciate it if maybe you could drop a review/critique or two. Don't get me wrong, I love the follows and the favs, and frankly I am surprised this has gotten as popular as it has, but reviews really help me interact with the readers and not only help me interact with the readers, but also helps me improve the story. Like I said I haven't really played the game so if I miss anything important, it helps being point out to that. That's all I have to say about that. I apologize for any issues. also warning MAJOR SPOILERS for the genocide route course I guess if you've gotten this far it means you've either played the game, seen a play through or don't mind being spoiled. On with the story.
The Group spent the better part of the night playing Castles and Caverns. Undyne was the Royal knight seeking to save the her kingdom from the evil mage, Papyrus was the royal squire that would never leave her side, and Sans played the role of the Game master. Rather than have Frisk role up a character of her own, Undyne wanted her to make a character that was based on herself including her combat experience and her rest ability. It meant that Frisk's character was naturally OPed compared to the rest of them, but Undyne was ok with that. she wanted to kind of use this as a therapeutic opportunity.
It half the time Undyne and Paps just watched Frisk rack up kills. Her character seemed to do a ridiculous amount of damage just with a knife. It even got the point where Undyne and Paps would just hang in the background while she did all of the heavy lifting, what made thing even weirder, was that there was something inside frisk that actually enjoyed it. Sans chuckled.
"So…going the genocide route huh? Sounds like you. Just be warned, you may find that you're in for a bad time."
Undyne began looking at him with suspicious eyes. "Sans, what are you talking about?" Sans winked at her. "You'll see."
Sans closed his eyes and began reciting words as if he was reading a story
You stand at tall ivory tower indeed it is taller than anything you have ever seen. As you step into the gate in a bright flash of light the great mage blocks the door. He is thin, bone thin. In fact looking at him he's nothing but bones. Dressed in a blue hooded robe and a pair of straw sandals. He looks at you his left eye glowing a big ghostly blue. He stares at all of yo, but there is one in particular that he has interest in.
Sans pointed at Frisk, continuing the Narration.
"You…You've been busy haven't you? Tell me something. Are you willing to take a step forward?"
Frisk nodded almost on instinct. Sans chuckled and continued.
With a snap of his fingers, the mage teleports you to a bright golden room. You two are alone. He looks at you and chuckles
"Heya. Like I said you've been busy haven't you? So I have a question for you. Do you think that even the worse person can change? That Anybody can change if they just try…someone like me?"
Frisk nodded. Sans continued.
The wizard laughs and continues his monologue
"Well here is a better question. Do you want to have a bad time? Because if you take another step you're really not going to like what happens next."
Sans then broke his narration and then looked a Frisk.
"You're about to fight the hardest villain in the campaign kid? You ready for it?"
Frisk nodded. "I have to admit I'm curious."
Sans nodded. "Figured you would be." He continued the Narration,
You take a step forward The Wizard chuckles at you.
"It's a nice Day out why not take a load off?
Sans the dice. Try as she might Frisk couldn't dodge his attacks. Her character was dead in a matter of seconds. Frisk was left dumbfounded. "What was that?"
Sans giggled. "Me being a butt. You got your unlimited reset ability, want to try again?
Frisk nodded. This kept going on for 15 minutes until finally Frisk was in the position to attack, she rolled the dice.
"And the mages dodges." Sans said
"Wha..?"
The Mage Laughs at you.
"What did you think that I was just going to sit and take it?"
Frisk did a check
1 HP 1 Attack the weakest enemy.
"Yeah right." Frisk thought.
The battled continued. Dice rolled shot one side to the other. With every loss Frisk got more frustrated…but also more determined.
After about an hour, Sans held up his hand.
The wizard raises his hand
"Look you didin't answer my question before, but Somewhere inside of me I can feel it. There is a glimmer of a good person inside of me. The memory of someone who once wanted to do the right thing. Someone who at one time might have wanted to be a friend. What do you say pal? Truce?
Frisk nodded. "Yes let's end this already."
Sans chuckled.
You embrace the wizard…only to find spikes ram through your chest. Instant kill.
Frisk froze "How?"
Sans started laughing "Gettttttttttt dunked on!"
Frisk started to breath really heavy. Her teeth gritted not just in anger but rage. Sans found himself taken back a bit.
"Wow, you looked really ticked."
Undyne and papyrus had now gone from nervous to worried. This wasn't like Sans. sure he had always been a bit of a troublemaker, but this was incredibly mean spirited even for him. Undyne decided to try to step in and stop things before it got ugly.
"You know, it's getting kind of late maybe we should wrap things up…"
"NO!" Frisk screamed. The two of them jumped in. Once again Undyne saw a brief flash of the red eyed girl with pointed teeth and black tears.
"Not again," she thought.
Frisk then looked at Sans with a steely cold glair. She spoke in a voice that didn't sound demonic, but it didn't sound like Frisk.
"You just made a BIG mistake."
Sans chuckled. He didn't say anything, but there was one thing that entered his mind
Let's go dirty brother killer
For the next three hours neither one of them spoke. They just continued rolling dice at each other. The funny thing is Sans was actually sweating.
"You don't give up do you? Well I got one more attack,"
The Wizard immobilizes you for thirty minutes.
"I guess I'm hoping if you get bored enough you'll quit."
But Frisk, if you could call her that didn't. She just crossed her arms counting down the minutes of the clock. Her face seemed animalistic and focused like a lioness stalking her pray.
Three…Two…One…
Frisk rolled the dice. but when Sans rolled a successful dodge.
"You think I was going to make it that…"
Frisk threw down her dice in frustration, and for everyone in the room, things felt in slow motion.
When the dice landed Sans chuckled
"It hits. The Wizard falls to the ground and crumbles to dust…Well you win, good game kid."
Frisk shook his hand, but tears started falling "I…I'm sorry. I shouldn't have lost it like that."
Sans smiled. "Hey there is a reason why he's the bad guy, but Your DETERMINATION got you through. Ya did good kid."
Undyne and Paps on the other hand were not happy
"Sans!" Undyne shouted "You, me, room now!"
Sans shrugged and winked at Frisk.
"Uh oh…Looks like I'm the one in for a bad time now."
Frisk giggled, which honestly made Sans breathe a sigh of relief.
Sans and Undyne entered the captain's quarters. When Undyne shut the door, she crossed her ams. Her feet began tapping in a rapid manner and the sound of grinding teeth was loud enough to be heard.
"Alright Sword Fish let me have it.
"WHAT THE HE…!" Undyne cut off her speech and clenched her fist giving every effort not to break Asgore's No Cursing rule, and to make sure that the whole house could not hear.
"What the heck were you thinking?" She asked in more of a whisper.
Sans just shrugged.
"Not an answer solider."
"I guess I wanted to confirm our little theory."
"That's bull Sans and you know it. I saw that look in your eyes. That's the same look in your eyes when you walked out on Ga…"
Before Undyne could finish that sentence, She found herself fast to face with one of Sans skull blasters. She indistinctly found herself drawing her spear. She looked down at Sans. His arms reached straight at her. His Right eye flashed a fiery blue. When he spoke, it almost sounded like a snarl.
"You say that name Undyne and I swear you'll…"
He didn't even have to finish that sentence. Undyne chuckled "You yourself joked about how you only had 1 HP. You really want to take me on?
Papyrus leaned against the door in an effort to hear what was going on.
"Can you hear what they are saying?" Frisk asked
'A little bit…"
all of the sudden Paps could hear what sounding like a low droning sound. He then bolted and tackled Frisk to the ground.
"DUCK!"
The Doors flew off its hinges in a blinding ray of blue light. Undyne and Sans dashed passed Papyrus and Frisk as they darted toward the courtyard.
Papyrus got up brushing the dust off of his clothes.
"Well…That escalated quickly."
The duo ran to see what exactly Undyne and Sans were up to. They looked in Aw as the two monsters battled like great Titans. Sans threw a volley of bones all of which Undyne was either dodge or block with her spear.
Under normal circumstances, Papyrus would love to see Undyne in action. Her Agility was of a beautiful dance, her strength was like that of a mighty lioness the problem was said opponent was his brother, and seeing that look in his eyes. It made him worried. There was no sense of easiness, no skeletons puns just a look of anger as if years of something eating at him had finally exploded out of him like a volcano.
"S-Sans?" He whimpered.
Sans in the meantime was just focusing on the fight. Flashbacks entered into his mind always the same scenario always the same result.
I Saw your brother's special attack it was pathetic
"You're just beginning to know how it feels Undyne. Knowing that one day without any warning it's just going to reset.
The way you get tired is hilarious.
"To live in an unending loop watching those you love die…OVER AND OVER AGAIN?!
In this world it's kill or be killed
"Heh, I wonder if that is what Groundhog Day would be like if it took place in Hell."
Undyne actually found herself impressed by the ferocity in Sans attacks, for the guy that took pride in calling himself Lazybones, he could certainly fight when he was determined. The question going through her mind however was where this new sense of determination came from. Had he really been bottling this up the whole time?
Undyne lunged at him with her spear, but Sans teleported out of the way hitting her in the back with a bone. Frisk stood in amazement as she watched the two moving across the Feld at blurring speeds. Neither one was really able to get an upper hand on the other. Every attack that Undyne couldn't neutralize she was able to dodge, and anytime Undyne tried closing the distance, Sans would just teleport out of the way.
Fatigue settled into both of them, and they found themselves at a stalemate. Undyne smirked.
"…Huff, huff…Hit me with your best shot punk."
Sans summoned a blaster, "If this hits you owe me a burger at Grilby's. "
"San's Don't!" A voice screamed.
Undyne felt herself get tackled to the ground. She looked up to see Papyrus towering above her, Her eyes widened in horror as she looked up to see that the Blaster was fully charged.
"Papyrus look out!"
But it was too late. A bright Blue Flash engulfed the young Skelton, and for a split second, Sans heart stopped.
"P-Papyrus?" Sans squeaked.
Sans ran to where Papyrus stood, but when the dust cleared, the only thing left was dust and a torn red handkerchief. Once the weight of the situation finally hit him, Sans fell to his knees and wept .
"No, please no. What have I done?"
Undyne quickly rushed to Sans's side. "Sans I.."
"Paps I'm sorry! Come back! Please come back!"
Undyne looked over to see Frisk running towards them.
"I tried to stop him, but…" She put her hand over and mouth and gasped once she saw what happened. Sans looked up at her tears still flowing from his face.
"Kid, I'm begging you, if there is any love in your heart please, please bring my brother back."
Frisk nodded. "I'll…I'll try."
Frisk closed her eyes. "Reset." She mumbled, but nothing happened
"Reset, please reset." Still nothing happened. Frustration finally settled in.
"PLEASE!" she screamed.
When she opened up her eyes, she Saw Papyrus Runnig toward Sans.
Sans looked over and Saw his brother running toward Undyne he dissipated the blaster and happily ran toward his brother.
"Papyrus!"
He wrapped his arms around his brother leaving Paps surprised.
"Oh…I"
"I'm so sorry Paps. Never again."
While the two brothers embraced, Undyne walked over to Frisk.
"Thanks. I think everyone owes you one."
"Why were you fighting?" Frisk asked
Undyne sighed. "I think Sans has more demons than he's letting on, and I guess you can only keep something hidden for so long before it explodes."
Undyne smiled. "Hey Frisk, do you mind walking Paps home while I talk to Sans?"
Frisk nodded. Once again Sans an Undyne was alone.
"Do you think Maybe I'm wrong about her? Sans asked.
"Maybe,"
"Sorry for loosing it over you saying the G word."
"Eh I've been through worse. I'll give you credit though. For a guy that holds the self proclaimed weakest monster in the underground, you sure do know how to fight."
Sans Chuckled "Eh what can I say? I guess I'm bad to the bone."
Undyne laughed. "Theirs is the Sans I know."
"Yeah well…I guess I ought to head over to the runes and ask about the whole Chara thing."
"Can you get their from here?"
Sans winked. "I know a shortcut"
Sans was about to teleport but Undyne stopped him.
"Hey Sans, Next time you have frustrations, please talk to me about it. Even if we have to be a bit…Aggressive about it."
"Will do, but let's keep my bro out of this next time."
With that Sans teleported. Undyne was left shaking her head.
"Why couldn't he be trying for the Royal Guard?"
A/N: *Prepares for the angry mob of Sans Fans* Before you lynch me, please here me out. Sans will eventually get to the cool fun-loving Sans you know in love, but it's going to take a bit. The Idea is that the Sans of this Universe/Timeline has a lot more baggage and while he tries to hide it with a smooth personality like the Sans of the mainstream timeline, he's a bit more angry and frustrated. Sans will have a couple of more fights like this and I plan on using them to really explore his character. If your still onboard, I hope you enjoy, and please Review
