Undertale Ever After | Chapter 2: The Nightmare
âHey kid.â Sans called me.
âHuh, yeah?â I replied as I followed him.
âYou see, my brother is a human hunting fanatic, soâŠâ
âOh, donât worry.â I said as I cross the bridge with Sans. I then pointed at that convenient lamp and said. âIâll hide behind that if he comes.â
Then, we heard footsteps.
âOh no⊠I think thatâs my brother.â Sans then pants heavily, worried of my safety. I know he is. He told me himself. In the previous timeline. âQuick! Hide behind that conveniently-shaped lamp!â
I followed his orders, but then I realized his jacket is still on my back. âYou donât want your jacket back?â
He shake his head and urges me to quickly hide behind the lamp. Just as my feet reached behind the lamp, Papyrus arrived.
âSans! You havenâtâŠâ He paused when he saw Sans doesnât have his hoodie on. âSans, whereâs your hoodie?â
âOh, I just borrowed it to some chilled kid.â He winked.
âSans! No time for puns!â Papyrus yelled. âWhat if a human comes through?â
As they continued to argue, more memories starts surging forward in my mind.
January 14, 2016 [Previous Timeline]
4 months since we arrived at the surface.
Everything is fine, except for a few murders I have to [LOAD] for a little to prevent.
Many anti-monster organizations has been created. Some of the illegal ones hire members on the social network. Although some of them is stupid enough to try to hire me on Facebook and their account got blocked because of that, some did some major researches and kept blackmailing me.
Currently, thereâs 3 major organizations. The illegal Monster Hunting Squad (MHS), Destroy Monsters Organization (DMO) and the legal government official Human Defense Department (HDD).
Up until now, my heroic acts of saving every monster they targeted has pissed them off really badly. 13 attempts of murdering me has been committed. But of course, Iâd play into their hands before [LOAD]ing back to the day before the murder and shatter their plan.
Iâve actually been on TV before, after the organizationsâ 7th attempt of murdering me. When the host of the show asked me how do I prevent of being murdered, I just replied that it was all just luck.
By the way, how did I get here anyway?
Iâm at the judgement hall, walking towards the other side of the long hallway.
I take in a deep breath, but dusts went into my windpipe and made me cough.
It was then I realized I was covered in dust.
Weird, I was watching a movie with Alphys, Undyne, Papyrus and Sans.
It was an anime named Sword Arc Online, Alphys has been addicting to it lately.
So we watched it together ever since Undyne suggested.
But how did I end up here anyway?
I thought as I continued to walk down the corridor.
A skeleton just above my height wearing a blue hoodie with a white shirt inside.
I wanted to ask him what is happening.
That was when I realized my body is not in my control at all.
As always, he is grinning. But not the casual welcoming grin he always have on his face, this time, his grin looks scary, menacing. Hatred pouring out from his white glowing eyes.
I wanted to ask what happened.
âIâ raised my right arm.
That was when I found out I was holding a knife.
It emits a bright red glow. Just like my DETERMINATION. But it looks menacing, just like Sansâ eyes right now.
âItâs a beautiful day outside.â Sans said, closing his eyes. âBirds are singing, flowers are blooming.â
What? I asked in my mind. Is he writing a poem?
âOn days like these, kids like you.â he opened his eye sockets his glowing eyes nowhere to be seen. Only a dark void that seemingly will swallow your consciousness if you keep staring into it. âShould be burning in hell.â
I screamed out loud, hoping to be able to say something, but I just canât.
Then, Gaster Blasters appeared at my left side and right side.
How do I know about them? Well, it was once when I almost got murdered, Sans summoned one and blasted that murdererâs hand that was holding a beer bottle trying to hit my head with it.
That person screamed out loud. When the light is over, his right handâs all black. But Sans said that was only 1/10 of the Blasterâs strength.
I assume this time, it is on full blast.
I wanted to just stand still and die from it.
Then, âIâ dashed towards him and sliced at his chest.
He dodged it with incredible speed.
Then, his right eye is gone. His left eye burning with a beautiful yet angry blue flame.
Heâs in his rage mode. Iâve seen it before, when a murderer killed Papyrus. He killed that murderer with a piece of bone piercing through their brain. Then, he blasted the corpse again and again, again and again, until the corpse is ashen and the floor stained black.
Suddenly, âIâ managed to slice a wound on his chest. Blood pouring out from both his mouth and the wound. Taking away all his HPs.
âNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!â I screamed in terror, that was when I finally gained control of my body. I let myself scream, I let myself yell. I tell myself that this isnât real but he is dead.
I dropped the knife and hold his body tightly. âNO! SANS! HANG IN THERE! PLEASE! DONâT GO!â
He widened his eyes in shock, he wanted to say something, but he canât.
âHANG IN THERE! RIGHT! I-I-I CAN BRING YOU TO ALPHYSâ LAB! SHE CAN DEFINITELY HELP YOU!â But his body is already started to turn into dust.
âNO, NoâŠ. noâŠâŠ.â I started to cry. âIâm sorry, Sans. That wasnât me. Something was controlling meâŠ. I never wanted to do thatâŠ..â I sobbed. âI love youâŠ. pleaseâŠ. donâtâŠ..â
That was when I felt something touched my face, I opened my eyes. It was Sansâ hand. He just grinned at me. Finally, his eyes went dark. His whole body has became dust. Leaving only his blue hoodie behind.
I picked it up and held it tight in my hands, I screamed, I yelled, I shouted.
âFrisk! Wake up!â I then felt someone is shaking me, I opened my eyes and sawâŠ
I instantly hugged him tightly, as if if I let him go just one little bit, he will turn into dust and leave me.
âItâs OK. Iâm here, Frisk.â He said as he pat my back. âIâm right here.â
It looks like I fell asleep on the couch while watching the anime.
Everyone is worried, but I insisted that I am fine.
âHey kid.â Once again, Sansâ deep voice dragged me back from the memories. âYou can come out now, heâs gone.â
âOh, thank you.â I said as I step out from behind the lamp.
âThen, Iâll be going.â I said to him as I proceeded. But I know he will call me to ask me to cheer Papyrus up.
I turned my head around and replied. âYes? You need me to do something? Getting caught by your brother?â
âSomething like that.â He said as he pulled his left hand out and scratched his head.
Iâm not mad, but I pretend to be. I creased my eyebrow. âWhy?â
âIâm not trying to kill you or something.â He explained. âI just hope that maybe you can show up in front of my brother and help me cheer him up.â
ââŠâŠsure⊠since from his voice, I can tell heâsâŠâŠcool.â I said. âIâd like to be friends with him anyway.
Although Sans doesnât remember me, he still have feeling for me though.
I can tell that because his expression and his speech is a bit different this time.
He looks jealous. âYeahâŠâŠsorta.â
Heâs jealous when I compliment his brother. Well, I did flirted to Papyrus on the previous timeline and got him really into me on the previous timeline, so technically Iâm the one to blame.
âGot it. Iâll meet you when I see your brother.â I said as I turned around and continue walking down the pathway.
As always, Papyrusâ puzzles is still extremely annoying, his spaghetti still taste likeâŠ.. I donât know. Well, at least his cooking skills will increase significantly once he started learning from Mom.
This time, I didnât rush. I need some time to clear my mind and think about the next step. Thatâs why once I arrived at Snowdin, I went to the library and quietly pretend to study but I was thinking about my next move.
OK, first of all. I need to go to the Waterfalls and meet up with dad. Thatâs my priority for now. I really need some advice from the great W.D. Gaster right now.
I then closed the Monster History book and put it back where itâs supposed to be and left the library.
