21 Papa Skeletington

With that bright light, the child was prepared for the worst. They hadn't expected the souls to come and never thought that something like this would happen. Souls coming and embracing Flowey of all people, things. With that flash, they narrowed their vision on the location of the flower; their eyes widening as they saw the sight. Part of them was excited, but the fact that they could see Chara made them question. Struggling to turn their head and look towards Chara, they bit down slightly on the tendril which was over their own mouth. The player looking up at the two humans in its grasp before turning to look at the Skeleton and the Flower whom now had much more power than before.

"This is an interesting development," The player would exclaim with a widened smile and terribly curious tone. "Let's get this over with," the entity stayed and went to swipe towards the Skeleton and Flower as the missiles and bones came flying their way. It took out a few of the bones, but completely missed the missiles. A wall of tendrils and cursors came up; blocking the bones from smashing into the child whose health was only one out of twenty. They couldn't let the child go free or it would be their loss. The player knew all too well that their Data would cease to exist, but the changes they've made would carry on into the reset. Their eyes would look to Chara for a few seconds as the missiles made an impact. When the debris and smoke cleared, the Player was regenerating pixel by pixel, but it was still reinforcing its defense around Frisk.

"It's time to end this," Raising their cursor shaped spear, the being would slash right to left in the direction of Sans; sending a lethal blow in his direction. However, a single hand appeared right before it could make contact with the angry skeleton. A large floating hand with a circle cut out of its palm. "... What? The being stood there dumbfounded; sending a few more strikes towards Sans only for more hands to appear, block, and fade out. "Those hands..."

From the far corner of Sanses line of sight, a visual of black and white could be seen in the form of a tall construct. A few seconds later, the yet another being appeared and teleported directly in front of Sans, a crescent smile and hollow black eyes, looked over the comedian. This would have only been for a few seconds as the Player was about to send another wave of attacks; only for Gaster to turn around and hold out an open palm towards the control entity's hostage.

"So, this was your plan, kid? The player asked and watched as Frisk shook their head, their eyes then going to Chara, before looking back towards Gaster. Watching as his goopy-liquid body seemed rather unstable. "I see... He's just taking an opportunity," The player seemed to click their teeth before growing silent, only for the tall goopy skeleton to disappear only for a dozen blasters to appear surrounding the entity and firing a deep blue beam; temporarily vaporizing the tendrils and two hands quickly swatted Frisk and Chara away in the direction of Sans and Omega Flowey. Frisk healing by five after having been hit. And it also seemed as if Chara was whole? Frisk reached out to grab hold of Chara in mid-air, wrapping their arms around them if they could to shield them if they were to have missed Sans or something.

When the blinding blue lights of the Gaster blasters came to the an end, it was just Gaster and the Player standing there, the player letting out a low growl as there were several large holes in the player's body, as if someone used a gun to turn them to Swiss cheese. Gaster on the other hand looked a bit unstable, glitching out a bit as he stood there.

"✋🕯☹☹ 👌☜ ❄✌😐✋☠☝ ✡⚐🕆☼ 💧⚐🕆☹📪 ✋☠❄☜☼☹⚐🏱☜☼📪 ✌☠👎 ❄☟☜☠ ✡⚐🕆🕯☹☹ 👌☜ ☝☜❄❄✋☠☝ ⚐☞☞ 💣✡ ☹✌🕈☠📬"

(I'LL BE TAKING YOUR SOUL, INTERLOPER, AND THEN YOU'LL BE GETTING OFF MY LAWN.)

Gaster stated with a light laugh, the player entity not at all seeming too amused as he stood there and grumbled. "Really now?" The being went to raise their cursor only for a large hand to wrap around them and restrain their movements; squeezing them much like how the human was being squeezed and strangled. "Heheh... An end huh? This isn't over. I'll be –" Gaster appeared a few centimeters away from the being with his head tilted to the side, silently staring at them until suddenly his hand jabbed right through the entity's chest cavity. "This won't be the end of this. I will return," Gaster gripped something which with his contact turned into a untitled soul and proceeded to be tear it out of the being.

"❄☟✋💧 ✋💧 ✡⚐🕆☼ 📬📬📬 ☝✌💣☜ ⚐✞☜☼📬"

( "THIS IS YOUR ... GAME OVER." )

Gaster for one more time, fired upon the player with his Gaster Blasters, before letting out a morose sigh as a giant reset button appeared as the player faded from existence. The untitled soul being added to Frisk's default inventory as an unknown item when the reset occurs.

Sans snickered as the bones were blocked by cursors.

"I'm not done with you yet.." he cheered. Of course, Sans was very agile for a lazy pile of bones. Sans watched as the missile came into target at Player. The area around the being was covered in smoke, but once it cleared up, the humans were unharmed, leaving only Player re-building it;'s pixel form back to normal. Chara was frightened as the scene took place. Scared as the missiles coming in fast towards Frisk, Player and there self recklessly, but was luckily unharmed. Within second of observing the being, Sans noticed that Player was already throwing another attack his way. His eyes were sharp; he had already summoned a gaster blaster to shield his body, but something surprising appeared before the skeleton.

Sans narrowed his eyes at the hand that took the blows coming from Player. Each attack in coming towards sans would be blocked by the hands, afterwards, disappearing to nothing. Just like Player, "Those hands.." he exclaimed under his breathe. Sans traced the details of those hands. Those hands were very particular to the skeleton and they were identified to belong to only one being who passed away years ago..

A flash back taking place as Sans found himself working in a laboratory along side with Doctor Gaster. He was his father, teacher, and creator after all. Past memories flashed before Sans as he took in every moment he had with Gaster until it was all taken away when Gaster was caught in an explosion that took place from the core. It was a nightmare. No one...NO one remembered Gaster after that scene. Sans tried to save Gaster, but Gaster tossed his life to save Sans from the blast, sacrificing himself. Not only physcially, but he mentally was forgotten by everyone. Roaming the underground, Sans was noted as delusional to the king, Undyne, Papyrus...everyone. No one remembered Gaster. They only remembered Alphys as the royal scientist. Up until this day, Sans wanted to believe he was going crazy; living a false past...

After re-living his past struggles to forget this being...he was once again present. Sans couldn't believe his eyes...Turning to the corner of his eyes, he spotted the tall, black figure standing before him at a distance. He was visually and physically paralyzed. He could not move. The being teleport-ed inches away from Sans as his white pupils keenly stared at the being as it smiled at him. He couldn't speak. He could only...smile? A drop of tear forming in the corner of his eye as he felt relieved in such a moment? No...he had lost his brother. He was overcome with sorrow, but to actually know he was not crazy, Gaster was real..wait. Sans then caught on that Player's reaction tells him that he knows Gaster somehow. Was...Gaster hiding all this time? Was he always alive this whole time?

The fallen child had turn to face the scene as Sans was unharmed by being protected by an unknown being. They turned to Player who asked if this was Frisk's plan. Chara then turned to Frisk with a confused look. Who was this character in the game now? Chara listened as Player was speaking at an audible tone for only Frisk and Chara to hear. He seemed rather, concerned of his newly discovered opponent. If Chara knew any better, it sounded as if Player was unsure of himself. As silence took it's place, Chara's eyes stayed on the black goopy being was instantly vanished. Leaving a hord of Gaster blaster aimed at them and firing. Chara's eyes widened, screaming agains the tendril that was wrapped around their mouth. It almost felt like death was over riding the poor child, but was instantlly swatted, along with frisk, with hands. They were swatted toward the direction of Omega Flowey and Sans, but in mid-air, even now Chara was scared. They were able to 'feel'? What was this taking place on the poor child. Their eyes opened, everything was in slow motion as they saw Frisk reaching in to grab Chara. Their sheer sight of Frisk coming in, hugging them, encouraged Chara to hold on tightly.

Luckily, Omega Flowey was already on the move the moment they saw Chara fly into the air, coming down quickly. Sa Flowey reached out to catch the two humans, Sans teleport-ed in the palm of Flowey's palm where he turned Frisk' soul blue, easing them in gentle so it wasnt a hard crash for the two. Safely easing the two onto Flowey's palm, Sans quickly hugged the two of them. "Are you okay, Kid?!" his eyes now longer emitting magic, his voice no longer enraged, but only sympathetic as they showed sincere concern for Frisk. Of course, Sans had no idea where this child had come from..he bareled looked at them as their eyes were drawn to Frisk in hopes of a reply.

"Chara!" the monstrous being Omega Flowey called. Looking down at the three being in the palm of his hand as he looked at Frisk in hopes to say Chara was okay.

Before Sans and Omega could get too comfortable, they couldn't really give the human's their full attention. They both turned their attention over to the scene were Gaster entered the battle. As the dust around player faded, they witness the scary sight of Player's body destroyed with holes where the gasters landed a shot. It was like the being was struggling to regenerate now that it had more injuries than before.

Sans and Omega watched as Gaster spoke in hands. Of course, Omega had no idea what was being said, but Sans could understand perfectly what was being spoken. They watched in awe, their creator was really alive? Watching as the two conversed, it was obvious who's side Gaster was on by now. When Gaster pushed the final blow, he finished off what was left of Player with a gaster blaster. Sans was still on edge, along with Omega. They watched in silence, still confused if Gaster was really on their side, even after what had happened.

Was it strange that wherever this void was, Undyne was no longer with the others? Sans turned, looking from left and right of the scene as they were still in this...empty space and Undyne was no where to be found. What was this? However, Undyne was perfectly fine. The undying knight was back first in the snow of Snowdin where they once were. Waking up, she looked around to see no one was around. Instead, near the rubble of the skeleton brother's home where Player had attacked, killing Papyrus. Undyne looked around and screamed to the top of their lungs. Was the battle lon gone and lost? No, she was only out for few seconds if not a minute. Sans, Frisk, Flowey, and...and that THING were no where here! Undyne struggled to lift up, their leg still bleeding out as it was wounded from Player's attack. Undyne's warrior cry reached out to the towns people near by as they peaked out of their homes to see the royal guard wounded next to the skeleton brother's rubble home. They were more concerned for their savior, thinking maybe undyne had fended off the being that was killing friends and family earlier. They quickly gathered to assist the woman, calling for from the royal guard to help and assist the woman.
