The Departure Chapter 3
Finally the device was up and running. Now, the ultimate test… Would it work?
Alphys switched the device on. The hoop sparked and hissed as a blue portal appeared in the centre. Yes! It worked! Now to test it…
'Alphys! The Lab is collapsing! We need to go!' screeched a terrified Catty as she dashed into Alphys' workshop, holding a Froggit. 'Oh thank goodness, the device is working!'
'But Catty, we need to test it or it might send us somewhere bad!' interrupted Alphys.
'Which would you prefer? Certain death or possible death?' yelled Catty as she ran through the portal with the terrified Froggit.
'You're right, I suppose. I guess I should get everyone through the portal.' muttered Alphys. Thankfully, their survivor group consisted of her, Catty, a Vulkin, a Froggit, two temmies (Bob and the owner of the tem shop) and a Woshua, so there weren't a lot of monsters that needed to be gathered together and into the portal. 'Vulkin! Woshua! Bob! tem! Please come here!' Alphys saw the silhouette of the quick little Vulkin with a Woshua rider dashing through the collapsing corridor with the two little temmies running alongside. The four monsters quickly made it through the doorway and into the workshop, just as the corridor collapsed over the doorway. 'Ok, we need to go through the portal! I'll be right behind you!' yelled Alphys over the noise of falling rock. The Vulkin and the Woshua heard and immediately dashed through the portal, quickly followed by Bob dragging temmie along. Ok, pulling the device through the portal with her should work… Might as well try it! Alphys grabbed the little cube and pulled it through the portal with her as the portal closed in on itself, just as the last of the wire went through. Soon golden light filled her eyes as her feet touched solid ground. She heard Catty say 'Alphys, where are we? This doesn't seem to be the surface.' Alphys did know where they were. Sans had shown it to her a long time ago, before he moved to Snowdin with his brother after Gaster disappeared. Judgement Hall.
Sans saw the cyan portal appearing behind the human. Alphys had done it! But soon the human turned around too and saw the 7 monsters coming through the portal. 'Oooh, more dust on the floor! More LOVE for me! Heeheehee!' said the human, giggling madly as they ran towards the terrified monsters. No! They would survive this slaughter! Sans raised his hand and flung the human to the other side of the hall and impaled them on some bones.
Whoa! Alphys knew that Sans had a lot of magic, and assumed that he could manipulate gravity like his brother, but this was very advanced! This wasn't just simple gravity manipulation! This was advanced telekinesis! And being able to do it with such force, and on a soul as well… That and immediately being able to attack afterwards! How much magic did this guy have!
No! Not again! Just as they could have gained 20 LV Sans had taken it away from them!
[Chara, your face is turning scarlet, and you look like you're about to explode.]
'Frisk, shut up!'
[You're in my head Chara, this is the price of possession. You have to listen to me full time] signed Frisk as they stuck their tongue out.
'I hate you.'
[That's 81]
'I give up.' said Chara as she slammed the reset button, once again reappearing at Judgement Hall.
The child was dead! At last! This horrible thing would be over! Sans immediately teleported over. 'Sans! You did it the child is dea-'
'no, they aren't. alphys, take everyone and run.'
'Why? They're dead! How are we in danger?'
'they're not dead. they can resurrect themselves. that is why i've been fighting them for over 2 hours.'
'Oh.'
'alphys, go!' said Sans as the human reappeared and ran towards them, brandishing their knife, ready to swing. Sans incinerated them with a blaster. Still Alphys stood, unable to comprehend what was happening. Sans took advantage of the short period between the human dying and resetting to fiddle with the machine and charge the battery, ready for making another portal. The human reappeared.
