UnderVanquish

Chapter 5. - New home: The lab. - Page 16.

Entering the void, the portal closes behind them both.

Dust sighs. "well, its not all bad, atleast that freak is finally gone and everyone is happy back at my original home."

Gaster replied. "But are you happy, dust?"

Dust chuckled. "yeah, of course. i just saved everyone i know and finally destroyed that demon from my universe once and for all. let's just drop the subject and tell everyone that the mission towards helping me was successful."

Gaster replied in a concern voice. "If you're sure."

Seeing gaster look down at him.

He grinned at gaster. "yeah, i'm sure."

Gaster sighs. "I wonder how Mad Gaster is doing in Underfell, i will just put my trust in him with resuming the mission in underfell. He can hear into these belts, can he not? I trust he can get toriel's fragment and purify the savestar fragment while he is there, if he happens to come across any corrupt ones that is."

Dust laughs. "depend on that lunatic? he is not exactly nice g."

Gaster growled. "Don't be rude, he is our friend and ally!"

Dust shrugs. "alright, well he wasn't exactly nice towards me in the past."

Seeing a upset look on Gasters face. "It was the past, i am sure he is sorry about it and if not. Then well, he is mad gaster and unpredictable but he is not our enemy!"

Dust chuckled. "you have a lovely pick of choice for allies. me,horror,temmie and now we have underfell-asgore...wait lets not forget error sans! hmmm...what exactly is temmie's story anyways? he never talks about himself."

Gaster replies in a serious tone. "That is private, oh here we are! The location of the lab!"

Dust raises his right bonebrow. "How long have we been walking and talking now?"

Gaster laughs. "Time does not exist here, so not long since we left your universe."

Dust scuffed. "If time did not exist here, then how are we moving around?"

Gaster shrugs. "I do not know really know, all that i know is that things work different here..."

Dust nods. "no shit."

Gaster growled. "Language! The children could be hearing this through the computers or something!"

Dust laughs. "oh, that sounds fun and hey guess what?"

Gaster raised his right bonebrow. "What?"

Dust sighs, Tears fall from his eye-sockets. "I no longer see my brother's ghost or uh hallucination. but the pain is still there, look...i know i said before that i was happy but the truth is...not completely.

I can never return without replacing someone else now or worse. I can't do that to my brother, to my friends...sure, i would be with everyone again, but would i really be with them? or just replacements?"

His head lowered, hands in his pockets..

Gaster says in a reassuring voice. "You could have stayed..."

Dust growled. "It wouldn't have worked out...I'm too broken inside, I would have most likely sooner or later, harmed someone again or worse! I couldn't stay there any longer, even if i wanted too...my brother and friends died off long ago. Those people i saw are just replacements, that sans can be happy in my place. atleast i somewhat accomplished something."

Looking up at Gaster. "Atleast that sans can be happy."

Gaster shakes his head. "After everything is said and done, i will find a way to reverse your problems."

Dust's eye-sockets darken. "don't bother with it, gaster, just move on...i have. the lab is my new home, hope you don't mind me staying there."

Gaster kindly replied. "I do not mind in the slightest, but someday i will find a way to truly help you through this dilemma.."

Dust shrugs. "whatever you say g."

Later showing up back in the lab, sometime later.

"Hey dad! Hey dust!"

Dust sees Gaster get hugged by Chara and asriel, then he has hugs from them both.

He sees alexander and lily, asleep on the couch, Toriel is in alexander's arms.

Gaster sighs with relief. "How is she?"

Temmie replies. "She's surprisingly alright, how is Dust?"

Dust groaned. "I am right here, you know that right? not exactly feeling peachy, but atleast i have somewhere to go."

Asriel nods. "You live with us!" he smiled.

Chara shyly says. "are we friends?"

He walks up to them and pats them on the head. "don't worry about it."

Looking back at Gaster. "I think you guys should check up on mad-g, im heading off to bed. I feel exhausted."

Gaster nods. "You get some rest, we'll handle things from here."

Dust snaps his fingers and leaves the main room.
