UNDERVERSE 0.1

[Cross!Chara]
WE DID IT!
HAHAHA!
This is half of the original Sans' soul!
Now I have a better idea...
Let's make our OWN UNIVERSE!
We don't need to live in a single, boring timeline...
We can make this more interesting...
But first, let's absorb this soul
Are you ready?

[Cross!Sans]
...Yeah...

[Cross!Chara]
...What's the matter?
Are you...?

[Cross!Sans]
I'm not sure about this, Chara...
Ink was trying to help us...
Sans refused to fight...
Why do we have to do this?

[Cross!Chara]
Are you afraid of releasing me?

[Cross!Sans]
...

[Cross!Chara]
I made a promise, "Sans".
I promised to be your friend...
Those dark days are over...
You gave up a long time ago, but not me.
I will help you to rebuild the world we lost.
We deserve a new Hope.
It's what they would've wanted...

[Cross!Sans]
...Let's just do it.

[Narration]
You used UT Sans' half soul.
You recovered 0.5 HP!
You have a new SOUL inside.

[Sans]
So...
Your name's Ink, huh?

[Ink!Sans]
...Yep.
Nice to meet ya.
I-I'm so sorry Sans, I never thought this could happen.

[Sans]
It's ok bud.
I'm not dead...
At least, not yet.
Looks like that guy loves to cause trouble.

[Ink!Sans]
Actually, this is the first time he's done something like this.
He's scared since...
Well...
It's a long story...

[Narration]
The artist version of Sans wants to talk to somebody

[Sans]
Umm...
My bro and the others will be here in 20 minutes, so I guess we can talk for a-

[Ink!Sans]
DO YOU WANNA KNOW WHO C IS?!
GREAT!!
Ehem!
Hehehe sorry for that...
Anyways...
All this started with a single drop in a far universe...
Everything seemed to be normal.
Your timeline and the thousands of existing variations were still continuing peacefully.
Suddenly, I felt the appearance of a new universe.
It had a very strong presence...
...Despite having the sound fo dripping water.
I couldn't contain my excitement, so I decided to go there.
I was eager to meet this new world and its inhabitants.
...But here was absolutely nothing except for one person.
...And actually
...Those drops were his tears.
He was very scared.
His mind was invaded by horror.
He realised there was someone else...
Me.
However, soon we broke the ice, and he told me his name.
He called himself Cross, the only survivor of a Genocide Run without RESET possibilities.

[Sans]
Wait a sec...
If he was in a Genocide timeline, where's the human that caused it?

[Ink!Sans]
Chara is sealed into his body.
How did it happen?
He never told me...
At first they acted as two separate beings.
However, as I visited Cross to keep him company, he won full control of both souls.
One day, while we were drawing stuff, he stood up.
He looked pretty down in the dumps.
He told me that a monochromatic child appeared in his world, and tried to convince him to go to a place with other survivors like him.
He refused to go, because he was convinced that his world was still alive.
He was convinced that with my help, he could restore everything...
But when I told him I can't resurrect the dead...
His face...

[Sans]
...Yeah?

[Ink!Sans]
...What were we talking about?

[Sans]
((Pfft what's up with this guy))

[Ink!Sans]
Anyways...
Cross' life points were reduced to zero...
Because he wasn't lonely anymore...

[Cross!Sans]
Ink?
Is that you?

[Error!Sans]
HUMM...
THIS PLACE IS PRETTY BIG FOR A SINGLE PERSON.
THIS IS KINDA SELFISH Y'KNOW?

[Ink!Sans]
His soul and Chara's were extracted by Error...
...When I came back, it was too late...

[Error!Sans]
Ink, Ink...
Why do you insist protecting this anomaly?
You know you can't help them.

[Ink!Sans]
I tried saving Cross' soul, but I couldn't let his soul to be destroyed, too...

[Error!Sans]
Let me give him a happy ending this time.

[Ink!Sans]
NO!
THAT'S NOT YOUR WORK!

[Error!Sans]
Welp.
I TRIED TO BE FRIENDLY.

[Narration]
But they refused.

[Ink!Sans]
Error took his soul, but he couldn't take the powerful and sadistic determination from Chara.
Thanks to both, both were able to keep themselves alive, but with a deadline.
Fighting against each other for the control of that corrupted body.

[Cross!Chara]
I'm...
FREE!

[Cross!Sans]
NO!!
STOP!

[Ink!Sans]
C-Cross...?
Are you alright?
When they saw me hurt, they ran away.
I couldn't find them.
After that, Cross and Chara teleported to your timeline and, somehow, intersected their world with yours to take your place for a while before dying...
...Spending their last few minutes in a world they once had.
Now I realise this Chara got to convince Cross...
Maybe he pretends to use the half of your soul to still alive, but, he's scheming something else.
Someone capable of manipulate a monster's body with that twisted mind...
It could be really difficult to stop them.
I have to admit that I can't stop them by myself...
I know this isn't the right thing, but...
Sans...
I need your help to find Cross...
Would you like to come with me?

[Sans]
...Heh.
Sorry, bud, but no.
Actually I think I could live with this.
...It doesn't worry me at all.

[Ink!Sans]
Oh...
That's ok!
I get it.
I was the one who let this happen...
...So, I'll do my best to fix this and bring back your soul.
Welp.
I have to go now.
Have a nice day with all your friends!

[Sans]
Huh...
This is too weird...

[Papyrus]
SANS!!
THERE YOU ARE, BROTHER!
ARE YOU READY FOR A OUR MAGNIFICENT PICNIC?

[Sans]
...Sure!
Let's go, bro.

[Cross!Sans]
So...
There exists other Alternate Universes?

[Cross!Chara]
Isn' it wonderful?
While you were spending all your time talking with your buddy Ink, I decided to analyse these Alternate Universes.
There are a lot of worlds that we can "visit"...
...but I'm really interested in just a few of them.

[Cross!Sans]
Heh.
You're a very clever guy in spite of just being a dying piece of determination.

[Cross!Chara]
Stop showing off your new soul!

[Cross!Sans]
Now tell me, how are we going to get the next world if we don't know any route?
I DON'T WANT TO STAY DOING NOTHING!!
I WANT MY WORLD BACK!
I WANT TO LIVE IN PEACE LIKE THEM!!!

[Nightmare!Sans]
Seems like you're not happy for some reason.
I can feel it.
May I help you with that?

[Cross!Sans]
...You have anything to do with Ink or Error?

[Nightmare!Sans]
How rude!
I'm offering you my help and you attack me with your stupid quesrions.
No.
I have nothing to do with them.
I found you thanks to your negative feelings.

[Cross!Sans]
Can you move trough positive feelings too?

[Nightmare!Sans]
Ha!
Why bother?
Beings who are happy are fine on their own!
Beings like YOU are the ones that need help.

[Cross!Sans]
Pacifist worlds don't deserve to be happy either...

[Nightmare!Sans]
Oh, I get your intentions...
Welp.
I guess I can give you the ability to access any AU you want...
But I want one thing in exchange.
Wherever you go, I want you to hurt somebody, but not physically.
You know what I'm talking about.

[Cross!Sans]
Heh.
Deal.
I'll try to be careful.

[Dream!Sans]
Hi!
I'm Dr-
(Nightmare?)
(It can't be-!)
(I need to notify ink immediatly!)

[Toriel]
What a beautiful day!
Everybody is having fun.
What do you think, Sans?

[Sans]
Well, staying at home would be a...
...MISSED-STEAK

[Papyrus]
IT'S TIME TO PLAY VOLLEYBALL!!
NYEHEHEH!

[Undyne]
NGAAHHAHAAH!!
MY TEAM WILL WIN THIS TIME!
We've been training everyday to defeat you, punks!

[Papyrus]
YOU CANNOT WIN, UNDYNE!
I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS HAVE A STRATEGIC AND INVINCIBLE TEAM!

[Alphys]
SANS!!
WATCH OUT!

[Papyrus]
SANS!
ARE YOU ALRIGHT?

[Sans]
uh...
Sorry.
I was distracted...
Maybe I need a break, can I, bro?

[Papyrus]
OF COURSE BROTHER, BUT DON'T FALL ASLEEP!
WE NEED YOU TO WIN THIS GAME!

[Sans]
Ok bro.

[Toriel]
Are you OK, Sans?
Do you want some ketchup or-
...Sans?

[Sans]
Be right back, Tori.
Wh-What's happening...?
Ink?
Are you there?
C'mon, pal!
Please answer me!

[Frisk]
...Sans.
...Who is Ink?

[Ink!Sans]
...I should keep looking for you, Cross...
But
...your universe is so lonely
...and
...quiet...
Ugh, why is this so difficult?
Come on, Ink!
You're the guardian of the AUs!!
You can handle it!
You'll find Cross in a blink!

[Dream!Sans]
IIIIINNK!!!!

[Ink!Sans]
OUCH!
D-DREAM!?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!?

[Dream!Sans]
I saw something horrible in that AU!
I felt a negative feeling and I was ready to help...!
But my brother Nightmare was already there!
And that guy had a giant knife!!
They made an alliance!
And a promise!
And- And-!

[Ink!Sans]
Calm down, Dream!
Are you saying that...
you saw Cross?

[Dream!Sans]
My brother will help him to teleport to any AU that lives in a pacifist timeline...
...He's planning to hurt everybody!

[Ink!Sans]
....Thanks, Dream.
That will make it easier for me to catch him.

[Dream!Sans]
Ink, wait!
I want to go with you!
I can't let hopes and dreams of those worlds get destroyed...
I would never forgive myself!

[Ink!Sans]
I'm sorry, Dream...
We're fighting together to protect the AUs...
But this time I won't put your life in risk.
You saved me once.
Now it's time for the payback.

[Dream!Sans]
...I...

[Ink!Sans]
...Sans?

[Frisk]
...Who's Ink?

[Sans]
...
...I can tell you a very bad joke to explain this...
But...
uh...
That's not necessary...
Nothin' important, Kiddo.

[Frisk]
I knew it!
Your...
Soul...!

[Sans]
Kid, I'm fine, ok?
It was just an incident with Cr-

[Narration]
You feel like somehting is not right.
You're reconsidering your options.

[Sans]
...Kid?

[Frisk]
...We made a promise, right?
But, if anything happens to my friends...
I...
I have to re-...
...Sans it's not the first time you're about to...

[Sans]
DON'T DO IT

[Ink!Sans]
Uh, this is uncomfortable...

[Sans]
There you are, Ink.
I decided to go with you.

[Ink!Sans]
W-What!?
Are you serious?
...Uh...
H-Hey Frisk...

[Frisk]
Ink...?
Why does Sans have to leave...?

[Sans]
...I guess I have to tell ya all, huh?
C'mere...

[Narration]
You listen to Sans carefully.
You want to go with him to help find Cross.

[Sans]
Sorry, Kid.
You must cover for me during my absence.
The others will find it weird...
that I stopped being lazy after all this time.
...You can help me that way, ok?

[Frisk]
...Promise me you'll come back.

[Sans]
Heh.
You know I hate to make promises but...
I'll try.

[Frisk]
Maybe this will be useful.

[Narration]
You eqiupped Sans with Bottle of Deluxe Ketchup - Limited Edition

[Sans]
Cool.
Thanks, Frisk.
Welp...
...It's time to leave-

[Frisk]
Please, take care of yourself...
...because...

[Sans]
...'cause someone really cares about you...
Yeah...

[Ink!Sans]
You don't have to do this, Sans.

[Sans]
If i'm gonna die because of Cross...
I prefer that my family doesn't see me become dust.

[Nightmare!Sans]
Here we are.
The first pacifist timeline.
People are a bit rude, but they managed to be happy thanks to a little human and a stupid flower.

[Cross!Sans]
Thanks, Nightmare.

[Nightmare!Sans]
...Have fun.
