The Departure Chapter 2
- Alphys sat, tinkering with the device with a wrench, until the sound of the door creaking open made her jump in surprise, knocking away a piece of metal that left sparks behind as it slid across the floor. 'Here's your coffee Alphys!' said Catty brightly.
'Oh, it's j-just you. Thought it m-might be the h-human or something.' replied a relieved Alphys as Catty cleared a place on the cluttered desk and set the steaming coffee down.
'You look exhausted. I suggest you try sleeping properly instead of running on 16 coffees a day.' suggested Catty.
'I know, I know, I should try getting my beauty sleep. But too many monsters have died already for me to not try to save the rest as soon as possible. Bratty, Mettaton, Undyne, Papyrus… they died because I didn't act soon enough. I have to try and save the ones that did make it. Oh my Asgore, sorry Catty! I'm sorry I mentioned Bratty! I forgot you were still upset over him! Sorry Catty I am so sorry!' replied Alphys as Catty's eyes grew damp when Bratty's name was mentioned. Bratty had fallen into the lava on the way to the hideout where the human wouldn't find them. He died almost instantly as he hit it, so at least his end was painless.
'I-it's ok Alphys. You d-didn't know that I was still u-upset over h-him. I-it's not your f-fault. I think w-we b-both need a c-coffee. You h-have yours, I-I'll get my own.' said Catty tearfully as she turned and left the room.
Sans continued watching the kid's corpse. Why hadn't they rese- never mind they just did. The body faded to vapour as a silhouette appeared at the end of the room. 'hey kid. what took you so long?' asked Sans. That information might help in the next complete reset.
'A minor disturbance. Someone took back what they had given away freely, and abused it. I took back what was mine, and returned here. But never mind that now.' said the child or whatever it was in a voice that sounded like Frisk's, only… not Frisk's. It raised a knife. The golden light made the silver of their knife and the gold of their locket almost glow. 'One of us will never leave this room again. And I know it will be you, Sans!' They raised their knife and shot towards Sans.
Frisk covered their eyes. They couldn't see this Sans no they were so sorry Sans: The attack sound played. But not the damage taken sound! Sans had dodged again! Just like-every…other… time. Oh.
'That's your fault, isn't it?' said Sans as he neatly teleports out of the way of the blow. He summoned several gaster blasters and fired at the kid, hitting them again, reducing their HP to zero. Their soul cracked and shattered. Again.*sigh*
'EVERY. TIME. THAT ONE ATTACK HE DODGES AND THEN FIRES HOW MANY MORE TRIES I KNOW I CAN HIT HIM AND HE'LL DIE BUT DAMN THIS IS MAKING IT ALMOST NOT WORTH IT ERRRRRRRRFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!' screamed Chara at the reset screen.
[That makes it 24 deaths to that attack and 49 total.]
'FRISK YOU'RE NOT HELPING.'
[You did ask me to keep a death-count for this fight.]
'Stuff you Frisk.'
[Oooooh, what would Mom say?]
'I hate you.'
[Chara that is getting old you've said that at least 80 times in the past 2 hours.]
'*deep inhale* donotkillFriskdonotkillFriskyouneedthemyouneedthemtolivedonotkillFrisk.' muttered Chara before slamming the reset button.
