//------------------------------// // Beware The Man Who Came From The Other Side // Story: Equestriatale: The Other Side // by neonpalette93 //------------------------------// "do you wanna have a bad time?" Sans asks his foe threateningly. Gaster does not respond. Instead, he lashes out at Sans with a black tentacle. Sans teleports out of the way, then ducks to dodge another swipe. "alright. i warned ya." Sans' eye suddenly glowed blue, and several beast skulls appear behind him. The skulls blast lasers toward the former royal scientist, but his melting body simply morphs to dodge. "like em? i named 'em gaster blasters, after you." "I know. I have some of my own." Gaster summons blasters of his own, aiming towards Sans. Sans teleports out of the way, and the blasts strike the door, destroying it. Sans teleports out of the void, and Gaster follows. Three glowing orbs appear from thin air and fly into Gaster's body. His melting form becomes whole, giving him the form of a tall skeleton. He summons four more floating hands, in addition to the two he already had. All of them have a different color in the center. "Finally. I've escaped the void. But now you are in my way." The hands form a circle between Gaster and Sans. "And you must be DESTROYED!!" The hand circle fires a massive beam. Sans teleports out of the way, but the beam stops and follows him. It strikes him, but he protects himself from the blast with some bones he summons. He retaliates with a gaster blaster, but the purple hand moves forward and duplicates the attack, blocking it. The hands all turn red and fire several blasts that form together into another massive beam that Sans narrowly dodges. The hands then return to their previous colors. "i've gotta HAND it to ya, that's a pretty cool trick. let's see more of it." "As you wish." Gaster sends the dark and light blue hands forward. The light blue hand fires tentacles from its fingers that wrap around Sans' wrists. The dark blue hand fires two saw blade-like attacks towards him. Sans ducks, and the blades cut his wrists free. He uses his magic to take over the blades, then sends them towards Gaster. The green hand conjures up a shield which blocks one of the attacks, while the dark blue hand hits the second blade with one of its own. The yellow hand fires energy balls towards Sans like a machine gun. He sends some bones to meet them. "You WILL fall." "nope." Sans effortlessly dodges a swipe of a black tentacle, then summons some bones to shield against a shot from the red hand. The hands all turn yellow and fire at Sans like an army of gatling guns. He teleports out of the way, then destroys the remaining bullets with a gaster blaster. The hands return to normal, and the orange hand flies ahead. It flashes, and in response several small white orbs appear around Sans. Another flash prompts them to turn orange, and a third makes them explode. Sans teleports away in time. The green hand forms a force field around him, then the orange hand summons bomb orbs inside. Sans extends two bones to break the shield and narrowly avoids a shot from the red hand, which activates the bomb orbs prematurely. Sans escapes unharmed, but the blast singes his jacket. "hey pal. this jacket ain't cheap." Sans sends several bones and a gaster blaster beam towards Gaster, but a shield and blades from the dark blue hand stop the attack. The hands all turn dark blue and fire a barrage of saw blades at him. Sans manages to dodge them all, then sends out some bones in response. The hands all turn purple and stop the bone with larger and faster variations. Sans teleports to dodge them. Suddenly, the hands all turn light blue and wrap tentacles around him. The pull him into the ground with enough force to cause him to black out for a second. When his vision returns, he sees that then entire castle and surrounding landscape had been reduced to a grey scape. He wipes sweat from his head, but is caught in the back of the head by a sweep of a black tentacle. The green hand forms a shield around him, then the remaining hands turn light blue and hold him to the ground with their tentacles. "I have had ENOUGH!!!" Gaster yells. "You have evaded my attacks for the final time. Now you will die, and my plan can proceed without interference." Sans notices something behind his opponent, and glances around. What Sans sees is everyone who had been turned into glitches by Gaster. They were hanging from above by their arms, unconscious. Sans could see Toriel and Bon Bon in one group, while he saw the group he arrived with there too. Then he saw Papyrus. Rage filled his body, along with another familiar feeling. Gaster dissipates the shield and tentacles, and prepares to strike down Sans with a blast from the red hand, but Sans teleports out of the way. "What?! How?!" "easy. you hurt my bro, so now i'm mad." He turns towards the unconscious form of Frisk. "what was it you always said before a fight, kid? oh yeah." "i'm filled with determination."
