Looks Don't Matter (Underrise AU)

"Tisk, tisk, tisk. Well, it appears I've found the lazy weakling and his troublesome friend. Isn't that just some coincidence."

Papyrus mocked as he tapped one of his bones on the ground. Sanzter felt sweat trickle down his head. He knew he couldn't defeat his little brother. Two hits on him could easily kill him. But, maybe he could at least drive him away with Doodle's help! Sanzter snorted. Papyrus then launched himself forward at Sanzter and Doodle with his weapons drawn. He summoned more bones and Gaster Blasters as he let out a crazed laughter. Sanzter and Doodle jumped in opposite directions, avoiding Papyrus' direct attack but he commanded his bones and Gaster Blasters to follow them. Papyrus had encountered Doodle once or twice and knew what he was capable of, so he was careful not to let down his guard with him, but his older brother was nothing to him. He knew Sanzter's ATK stat was only 1 and he could barely do a good amount of damage onto him. Sanzter teleported out of the way of his brother's attacks as he deflected some, Doodle did the same. Sanzter then teleported once more out of the way of a Gaster Blaster but the second he reappears, a bone strikes him from behind, causing his HP to drop and him to fall to the ground. 1/20 HP. Sanzter hit the ground with a loud thud, causing Doodle to whip around to him and teleport to his side.

"Sanzter!"

Doodle shook Sanzter as blood flowed from his wound, the bone still struck within him as he trembled, he coughed blood as he struggled to get up. Papyrus grinned, he summoned more bones as he laughed darkly. Doodle tried to nudge Sanzter to get up, he tried to but collapsed once more every time. Papyrus pointed his finger at Sanzter as the bones flew at Sanzter fast, aiming to land the killing blow. Sanzter looked up and saw them, he shut his eyes and looked away, knowing he was going to die here. But as he waited, he felt something liquid hit his face as the sound of the bones striking made him flinch. Sanzter opened his eyes and looked up, his eyes widened as his SOUL dropped like a rock. Doodle stood in front of him, his hands thrown out to the sides as bones pierced through his body, his blood dripped onto Sanzter's face.

*no! doodle!

Sanzter let out a cry, tears streaming from his eyes as Doodle fell, Sanzter forced himself to move as he managed to catch Doodle in his arms before he hit the ground. Sanzter looked for any sign of Doodle being fine, but nothing was. Bones had struck his rib cage. Blood came down from the darker skeleton's mouth as Sanzter shook him, praying that he would awake. Papyrus snorted before he teleported away, his energy gone. Sanzter cried harder as Doodle lay still in his arms, but then, he weakly opened up his eyes, he let out a cough.

"Sanzter?...."

Doodle said as Sanzter smiled and nuzzled him.

*ya had me scared to death, doodle!

Sanzter said as Doodle smiled and chuckled weakly, he put his hand to Sanzter's cheek as he spoke softly.

"I love you, Sanzter...."

Sanzter leaned his head to Doodle's hand but the moment after he did so, Doodle turned to dust within his arms. His eyes widened in fear, he started trembling as he just looked at his dust.

*n-no.....no......no!

Sanzter cried as he shook more than ever, his white eyes mere dots in his sockets as he was speechless, unable to talk or even think. Suddenly, Sanzter put his hands to his head, a high-pitched ringing sound entered his head and although it wasn't there in the real world, it rung loudly in his mind. Sanzter fell onto his side as he gripped his head in pain, the ringing was causing him to be driven insane. He let out an agonizing screech as he grinds his teeth together. As he manages to put his knees against the ground, he buried his head into the ground as he continued to scream in agony. Sanzter's jaws parted to let out another screech as his teeth grew sharper and longer as his fingers turned to claws. He dug his claws into his skull as he felt more tears stream from his eyes. That was when Doodle's SOUL appeared above his dust and switched in a mix of colors before it turned completely green, but an orange part of the SOUL separated itself from the green SOUL. Sanzter felt the energy of another being near him, almost right beside him, but he couldn't see or hear who it was and he didn't recognize the energy. It turned out to be Papyrus, Doodle's brother. The taller dark skeleton gazed worriedly at Sanzter for a moment before he frowned and turned back into SOUL form and returned to the green SOUL which started to shake once Papyrus returned. The SOUL then hovered back down to the pile of dust and fused itself with it, giving life back to its owner. Doodle formed as he was no longer black and white, but rather green. Sanzter continued as Doodle lifted his head weakly. He saw Sanzter in pain and tried to reach out to him, his hand trembling as he felt heavy.
