Puppet In chains

Did you ever question how they actually got that thing out of Dream's body?  ((Notes at end))

For years, Sans had known that they weren't just Sans. They had been something more once, they had been so much more, but it had been ripped away from them so long ago, that they could barely remember what they had lost.

Their divinity, their powers, their abilities, even their own body and most of their soul, they had lost so much.

Did Geno ever question why exactly Reaper couldn't kill them with his touch?

Did he ever question why he had survived the way that he did?

Did Death even sense the ever so tiny shard of Divinity that clung to Geno's Soul Shard, or the larger chuck that was attached to Sans?

Did anyone even pick up that Sci wasn't a past version of Sans? Because if that was true, then Sci should have dormant Divinity in his Soul, but he didn't... If it was there, then Sans should have been able to sense that, but they couldn't... It wasn't there...

Did Life even realise that they had slipped through the cracks, and straight into the cycle of reincarnation?

To be fair, they had lost a good portion of the power that they could use, when they were thrown out of their body, and they had been unable to hold onto their identity as they tumbled through the cycle...

But one thing that they clearly remembered was the little ones that they had been forced to leave behind...

Sans growled, and they clenched their fists, trying their best to not knock over the breaker full of liquid in front of them. The loss of most of their Magic had forced them to find a scientific way of driving that foul Parasite out of where it was now.

Their old body would be useless to them, but not the bodies of the tiny little ones that had started to bloom in their roots, shortly after their old body had been forced to turn into a tree. The Parasite would take one of them.

They would not let that happen, and they had tried to stop it. They had done everything that they could, even trying to end those two little lives before they could begin, knowing that if the Parasite found them, it would turn them into it's Puppets... Just like it had done to them.

They couldn't let that happen, they were innocent beings that deserved a chance to live. They had to find a way to help them.

They wouldn't even ask the other Gods and Goddesses for help, they wouldn't even feel like their old self to them now! Their Soul had a new name and identity, the Parasite had stolen their original name and identity when it took over their body!

Sans took a deep breath, getting angry wouldn't help them, they needed to have a clear head. They needed to pack up their research properly. The Reset deleted all physical, and digital, records of it. Sans couldn't hold onto any of it until they figured out how to bless a small part of their inventory with what little divine power they had left, making it possible for whatever items they stored there to not be deleted. Sans could then bring their research records out, in the next Reset, and continue working on it from where they had stopped.

They had to find a way to defeat this Parasite. The lack of science equipment that they managed to steal before they quit their job as a Scientist wasn't helping them at all. It was out of date, and showing it's age through all of it's wear and tear...

"It's a virus, it's too bad that there isn't something such as an Antiparasite." Someone mused.

"Who's there?!" Sans cried, as they turned around.
