I ran though the forest, sprinting as fast as I could until I got there. I felt a weight lift off of me as I got to the doors and the kid wasn't there but soon after I started walking back another weight pushed itself onto my shoulders, what would they all think? Alphys, Toriel, Undyne, and most of all Papyrus, what would I tell them? The kid isn't even here yet and everything getting so hectic, I saw our humble abode come into view and noticed that the lights were still on. I thought about teleporting to my room but I knew that was just delaying the inevitable, they were going to find out but they wont remember next cycle so my secret was kept relatively safe.
"SANS, THERE YOU ARE!" My brother yelled, a large amount of commotion came from the house as everyone from earlier came out, they all stayed apparently but as soon as I got close to my home Paps gave me a big hug making me quite happy before he set me down and brought me into the living room where Undyne was just staring at me.
"What?" I asked, looking at her, she seemed completely stumped and it almost made me laugh but I knew that if I did she would want to battle me.
"How did you... What the... Wha.... Huh?" Undyne stumbled over her words which is not a thing you see often so I let out an easy laugh at this but surprisingly she just starred at me and glowered, she said nothing more.
"BROTHER I THINK EVERYONE HERE HAS MANY QUESTIONS FOR YOU." I sighed, this was a timeline I hadn't experienced before and I had to admit that it was quite nice to have them all alive.
"Okay... Shoot." I said, preparing for their questions as I was sat next to my brother on the sofa with Undyne next to me and Alphys and Toriel sat on chairs someone had probably gotten them from the kitchen.
"Umm, how is teleportation possible? I know that some of the greatest royal guards tried it but they ended up disfigured or worse, how does it work?" Alphys asked, she had taken out a notepad and a pencil and seemed very intrigued but before I could answer Papyrus interrupted.
"MY BROTHER IS BETTER THAN THE ROYAL GAURD? OH HOW WONDROUS, WHY DID YOU NOT TELL ME EARLIER?" Paps said proudly.
"I couldn't tell you earlier given you would-" I cut my felt off, I cant tell them yet, they aren't ready.
"What is it?" Asked Toriel, tilting her head cautiously at me as everyone seemed to lean in to hear what I had to say.
"Nothing, I-It's nothing." I said, Papyrus didn't seem to take the hint to well though.
"WHAT IS IT BROTHER? IS SOMETHING WRONG?" He asked, I chuckled a little.
"Nah, I'm just tired. I can talk to you all in the morning if you want." I said, everyone nodded and decided to come back at 9:00 the next morning. A few minutes later everyone had left and it was just me and Pap, I wasn't too terribly hungry but I sat and ate some pasta just because its easier to sleep when you're full.
"SO, HOW DOES IT WORK BROTHER?" I heard Papyrus exclaim in his normal recklessly optimistic tone.
"Well, uh..." Was I really ready to tell him, and was he ready to hear it? I didn't know so I decided to wish him a goodnights rest and go up to bed. I stripped myself of my clothes, deciding to sleep in only my boxers that night. So I removed my beloved hoodie, hanging it up and then I plopped my head down on my bed, landing on the pillows and wrapping myself up in my cozy blankets as I warmed up, fell asleep soon after but knowing I would work on my machine tomorrow no matter what, I had to.
I awoke to the sound of chatter the next morning, it sounded like everyone was there, most likely waiting for me. I got up from my warm nest of blankets and quickly put on my shorts and looked in the mirror, I sighed and examined the scar in my bones where that kid slashes me before game over. I remember every time its happened, and I remember how many timed Pap's been killed too, from the left upwards to the right, thats exactly how the scar was planted on my bones.
"SANS-, OH MY GOD WHAT HAPPENED?" Papyrus exclaimed as he was standing in the doorway, I heard a set of footsteps running up the stairs probably to make sure I was okay.
"It's nothing, I'm fine." I said, grabbing my white t-shirt and going to slide it on when Papyrus stopped me.
"THAT'S NOT FINE, WHERE IS IT FROM AND HOW HAVE I NOT SEEN IT BEFORE?" He exclaimed, Toriel came barging into the room to make sure I was okay, she was definitely like the mother I never had.
"Oh dear, what happened Sans?" Toriel asked, both worried but I couldn't tell them, not yet.
"Nothing, I'm fine. Don't wanna keep people waiting, they might start to think I came down with a... Femur!" I said, causing a loud groan from Papyrus and a giggle from Toriel as I slipped on my shirt and grabbed my hoodie.
"What's wrong Paps, didn't I tickle your funny bone?" I said, causing another groan accompanied with a laugh as I put on the familiar hoodie and headed down the stairs.
"Oh sorry, I just wanted to be humerus!" I said causing Toriel to laugh and a smile to come from Paps as we got to the bottom of the stairs.
"Bet you've got a bone to pick with me now." Toriel was laughing quite hard by now and I had earned a small laugh from Papyrus so I felt accomplished. Apparently several people had heard and where laughing too, I smiled.
"It's going tibia okay." I said, finishing my round of terrible puns for just then and sitting down on the couch.
"Hey pile a' bones, so how did you do that thing the other day?" I knew this was coming, I might as well answer it.
"Well, I have to concentrate on one spot in my mind and kinda conjure up enough Henoponoxide and tembino to basically teleport, it's a pretty simple equation really." I said, literally everyone starred at me in disbelief except one person, that was Alphys.
"Whats the equation?" She asked, I could show them in my lab or just write it out from memory, I decided to do it from memory given its a little hard to understand down there and I didn't want Undyne breaking anything in there. So I wrote it on a piece of paper and handed it to her, she seemed quite shocked as did everyone else.
"Umm, hate to interrupt your nerd chat but what does this mean?" Undyne asked, I let out a laugh at the situation, the first few repeats I would go no where near a book let alone one about physics, mathematics or psychology.
"Well it's how I figured out how to teleport." I replied, Alphys still looked puzzled.
"What's wrong Alphys?" I asked she looked at me then back at the equation then back at me, the same puzzled look on her face though it all.
"This equation, I don't even understand half of it? How do you... Huh?" She asked, Yeah I didn't look like the intellectual type but if looks could kill Undyne would be medusa.
"When you've got several thousand lifetimes to work with, it's easy to do this kinda thing." I replied, everyone still looked stunned.
"Several thousand lifetimes?" Toriel asked, I realized what I had said and decided I would get back to that subject later.
"Uh, yeah. Anyways, I'll explain the teleportation is simpler terms." I paused, everyone went silent.
"I can use my magic to teleport whenever I want though it can be a little draining, but if I wanna use my Gaster Blasters then that requires a large amount of extreme emotion and that's why I don't summon them often." I said, I smiled slightly proudly.
"Gaster Blasters? THAT SOUNDS AWESOME BROTHER, CAN YOU SHOW US?" Papyrus chimed joyfully followed by Undyne cheering it on and soon enough I was coaxed into doing it.
"Fine, fine, but we'll go to the place I normally practice so that no one gets hurt." I said, everyone cheered but my brother was obviously wondering when I had the time to practice but I didn't agnolage his question.
"But normally it's just me so I'll have to teleport one at a time." I said, I knew this was going to be draining but I could probably do it.
"Okay, Pap, you're first!" I said, holding out my hand for him to grasp tightly.
"Okay, we're here." I said, we were in an abandoned old village that I had used to take out my anger on, it worked.
"THAT IS IT, WOW, THIS IS SO COOL!" Papyrus exclaimed, I laughed at it before going back to get each member until everyone was there.
"Okay, I'm gonna show you so everyone stay behind this line, if you go infront of it you might die." I said nonchalantly, everyone seemed a little terrified as I drew a line in the snow with a stick and then walked past the line, I went to the middle of the village and I could almost hear Undyne passing the line so I chuckled to myself, same old Undyne.
"UNDYNE, DONT PASS THE LINE." I yelled at the top of my lungs, I heard her scurry back as my voice boomed across the mountains, I closed my eye and knew the other was its flaming blue. I wanted to kill that kid, for killing paps, for trapping me in this loop, and for hurting my friends. The dragon's heads came into our reality with their jagged teeth and blue eyes, I had summoned them. I kept them like that and started to walk back over to them, I heard undyne speak.
"I kinda doubt this, it sounds fake." She said right before I turned the corner and made sure to keep them and a safe distance where everyone looked scared, I chuckled lowly.
"Its alright, they don't bite. Unless I want them to, and you said you wanted to see its power, So here you go." I said, my eye flaming and burring its electric blue as I aimed it and fired at a nearby house, it was completely obliterated, puffs of smoke came from the fire I started there from all the condensed energy. I decided to let them go to save my strength for when I had to teleport them all home again.
"BROTHER, THAT WAS AMAZING, HOW DID YOU DO THAT, CAN YOU TEACH ME PLEASE?" Papyrus said, almost as much joy emanating from him as pride for his brother. Everyone stood there, mouths agape, including Undyne herself. I smiled to myself, I had finally told them the truth... Or at least part of it. I sighed, I couldn't tell them the rest, Papyrus: dead, Me: A murderer, Everyone: Dead or in pain for most of their lives that time around. It always happened, and it would happen again. No matter how it was cut I always had to kill someone, EVERY, FUCKING, TIME.
"Hey, are you alright?" The familiar voice of Toriel rang in my ears as we sat in the snow together, I felt my magic congregating in my eye but I pushed it away so that I had my normal white pupils and sarcastic smile.
"I'm fine." I said, she seemed to not believe it fully but for now it was enough since I had opened up so much today.
"BROTHER, COME HELP ME!" I sighed and stood up, off to go help my brother with whatever he needs help with, suddenly a snowball hits my face, I look around to see Toriel giggling.
"It's on." I said, making several balls of snow with my magic and throwing them, she giggled as more of us joined into the snowball fight. I wish that this could happen forever but I knew it couldn't, I thought but now was a good time to just live in the moment.
"Woo, no one is a match for the mighty Undyne the snow queen!" She yelled pelting everyone with snowballs.
"Oh really?" I asked, forming snowballs with my magic and having them all hit her. She shook them off and we kept pelleting snowballs until we all got tired, I teleported them all one by one and when I was done. I was exhausted, I went straight to bed muttering a goodnight to everyone but really I wasn't going to sleep, not yet.
"Okay, I'll just work for a little while then I'll go back." I said to myself, pulling out one of the books in my bookcase labeled 'Lab 101', when I yanked it the bookcase slid sideways and opened up a door to my lab, I pressed a button on the inside that slid the bookcase back closed as I went down the stairs and into my lab, I only had a few more days until I couldn't use it during this timeline, two days.
