ShOuLd B-b-Be BuRnInG iN h-H-hElL." was heard in the Judgement Hall... Suddenly, the sound of a laser was heard, along with a blast, before it was repeated a couple more times, before someone said "huh, i wondered why no one used their special attack first." Music soon began to play, as a short, laid-back looking skeleton wearing a blue hoodie, pink slippers, black track pants, and a shirt/sweater was seen, fighting a kid with a plastic knife and wearing a heart locket... The kid attempted to slash at the skeleton, only for the skeleton to teleport out of the way, just BARELY dodging the plastic knife... This went on for a while, slashes, bones, and blasts of lasers going everywhere, before the skeleton fell over and said "alright, that's enough, kid... ugh... why did you even want us to fight again?" "Because I thought it would have been fun... also, why is your voice all messed up?" The kid, Frisk, asked, taking off the locket, putting it in her pocket, and then throwing the plastic knife away, as she walked over to the skeleton, Sans... "ugh, wait a second... there. that better, kid?" Sans asked, fixing his voice mid sentence... Frisk nodded and got on top of Sans, as she said "Yep...", she then sighed and said "Its great, isn't it, Sans?" "that the barrier's gone, kid? hell yeah, it is." He said, as he patted Frisk's back... Frisk smiled and said "Hey, shall we get back to the others? It's been a while since I've been on the surface... and a long, LONG time since anyone down here has seen the Sun." Sans nodded and desummoned the Gaster Blasters and the bones, as Frisk asked "By the way, Sans, why do you have only 1 HP?" "well, you know how i have that weird machine behind grillby's place?", as he gained a nod from Frisk, "well, me and alphys used to work together with my dad, w.d. gaster, or as we liked to call him, aster. but, one day, when we were working, my dad fell into the determination extractor, the weird machine you saw in the true lab, and his dt was accidentally extracted and unextracted repeatedly, until he suddenly disappeared. i was nearby at the time when a bolt of determination hit my left eye, making me unable to, you know, see very well in that eye, even when i'm not using magic, you know, when my right eye glows blue. alphys was sick that day, and when she came in to check on me and my dad, my dad was gone, and i was on the ground, in pain, holding my left eye. because of the dt hitting my eye, it took away 19 of what was once 20 hp, leaving me with 1 hp. i still have alphys trying to undo what the dt did to me, but so far, we got nothin'." Sans explained, as he then finished desummoning all the things he summoned... Frisk had her hands covering her mouth in shock, her eyes wide for the first time ever (for anyone), showing her unnatural, mismatched eyes... one was yellow, the other was blue... "whoa, kid, nice eyes!" Sans said, chuckling, making Frisk blush and let out an "Eep!"... Sans laughed and said "heh, sorry kiddo, but you do have nice eyes... and don't get to upset about what happened... i can tell that you are, but don't worry about it. i'm still here, and that's all that matters." Frisk blushed a bit more and said "Thanks, Sans.", before she kissed his cheek, making him blush blue... "heh... y-your welcome, F-Frisk..." He stuttered, making Frisk giggle... Frisk then remembered something and asked "Hey, Sans..." "yeah?" "What was that bit about timelines, jumping back and forth?" This made Sans freeze up, before he said "uhh... i'll tell ya later, kiddo." Frisk raised her eyebrow, before she shrugged and led Sans to where the barrier once was...
