###### Part 1: Knowledge is Potency

May 6th, XXXX. On this date was the day the humans declared war on the monsters. "The Blood Wars". It was called this because is was flooded with blood, dust, sweat and tears. As Asgore lead the army to the front-lines to fight the humans, Watson Dilfer Gaster, the head of T.M.o.G.S.D. (The Majiks of Gamma Scientifics Division), was in his lab researching. He was experimenting with biological entities and gamma radiation. "Doctor Gaster! There's a war going on, and your researching?! Asgore- " Gaster cut his assistant, Alphys off. She was new to T.M.o.G.S.D., at the young age of 14; she is the youngest to be in T.M.o.G.S.D.. But to make up for it she had an intellect that was close to Gaster's 488 IQ, having 413. "I KNOW ALPHYS. I am aware of the relentless, pointless bloodshed happening above the underground. " In this au all monsters live on the surface. But Gaster's laboratory was underground, because that's where the CORE he invented was. As close to it as possible for obvious convenience. " Then why aren't you evacuating? Asgore himself has given the order to evacuate this lab because it's directly under the front lines!" Gaster put his hands on Alphys's shoulders. He stared at her scaly, yellow exterior. As his grey pupils in his wide, black eye sockets with many bags under them, looked into her bright blue eyes. "It will be alright, Alphys. We are at least 500 feet underground. And besides, I'm almost done with my works." This last part was a lie. His work was far from done. His work place was drowning in unorganized papers only he could really understand as it was in the font "Wing dings". This is why people adopted him the nickname of "wing dings" for the "W.D." in his name. His experimentations with lifeforms were also far from complete as he barely actually begun with tissue, cells, etc. All of it was theory, and rarely testing. "Doctor Gaster, I'm your assistant. I've worked more closely with you then anyone here. I even understand the language you use... partly anyways. The king ordered us to evacuate. You can still keep up your works we're just... relocating is all." Gaster let go of her shoulders, his expression changed from a comforting one to one of impatience and annoyance. "I can't, Alphys. I... I have a chamber that even you haven't seen. I... I think I'm creating a soul. A living being." Alphys looked down a moment in confusion, bewilderment. She didn't know how to feel. She looked back up at him, fixing her glasses. "Your... creating life? I... I-I thought that wasn't possible. Why were you hiding this from me?" As he fixed his lab coat he took off his glasses, cleaned them and put them back on. He responded in a gentle manner. " It's very experimental, and, I just didn't know who to trust..." Alphys answered quickly in a concerned manner; "You can trust me. You know that... How long have you been doing this, anyways?" Gaster responded, as his eyes shaded from him getting into a serious tone. "4 months. It's been 4 months since the incident happened. One day as I was experimenting with Determination and Blue Gamma Majik, the 2 fused. It created an orb of pure radiation and majik. eventually after about 3 months it formed into a soul. It was small, but distinguishable from just an orb. It wasn't until yesterday it formed into a full soul." Alphys was shocked. She didn't know how to respond to this revelation. "I-I-It's that simple? If we h-" Gaster cut her off as she stuttered. "Blue Gamma Majik is the rarest to exist. It is unable to be created in normal conditions and the only way you can get it is having Gamma Majik be exposed to extreme conditions. What I did is got a vial of red gamma fluids, and put it over the lava right next to the core. After about 7 hours it became Orange. We know this. But I thought to myself "What if I cooled it to an intense degree?" And so I came back to my workspace and put it in a room of absolute zero. I came back in 9 hours, and it was purple... Something we've never seen before but I went further. I decided to use this new gamma majik and expose it to an intense amount of magic. And so I used my prototype of my "Gaster Blaster". I blasted it until it became blue..." Alphys was even more shocked than before. "But... How is that hard? We could do that if we just-" Gaster again cut her off "These conditions are near impossible to perfect. I got lucky but if you were the slightest bit off, it would most likely turn back to red or just explode." Alphys was still bewildered, but before she could say anything Gaster went off to his workspace. As he approached the silver door that led to his space, Alphys stopped him by grabbing his hand. His hand has a wide hole going through it so she was able to grab it easily... But when she saw the hole she paused. "Wha... What happened to your hand?" Gaster paused as well. In a moment he shakily breathed and responded. "I cut a hole in my hand to get my bone tissue and give it to the soul. The soul actually absorbed it. It makes me wonder if the soul will actually form into an Anthropomorphicus Skeletus Majickus. It is my species, after all." Alphys quickly responded; "Yeah... I-I think that could be possible. Wouldn't be the craziest thing I've heard all day..." Gaster chuckled, "Yes... you do have a good point there." His smile faded away into a neutral one. "You want to come into my space and see what I'm working on, don't you...? Well, you might as well. You do know so I don't see the harm in it." She chuckled slightly, in nervousness more than amusement. "Yeah.." Gaster pressed the green button above the red one on a pad next to the door. The silver colored, thick, lead door opened. They went down a dark-ish hallway with white walls. On the left of the hallway were a series of doors like the one they went through. Each door had numbers on them. When they reached the end of the hallway, they reached a door saying "Ls-G-8089". Gaster put a password into the panel next to his door. Mumbling it out loud. "3...5...9...4...1...8...8." The door whooshed open as the other one did. They walked into the room. It had green, padded walls. They were the darkest of greens as there were many desks against the walls with all sorts of things on them. But mostly papers. At the end of the room was another, thicker, lead door. It would read as follows; "CAUTION! Intense Amount of Gamma Radiation Ahead. Access for G only." G obviously standing for "Gaster". As Gaster reached into his lab coat, Alphys took a moment to notice his Black pants, sweater and shoes. Nothing much just the usual attire he wears. Out of his white lab coat Gaster pulled out some keys. He took the keys to yet another panel on the wall next to the door. As he fit the keys into the slot, then turned it, and opened a casing over the panel on the other side of the door. There was a hand panel. He pressed his hand against it, as the other panel was switched with the key slot, to another password panel. He typed in "3397854", and the other panel was switched for a retinal scan. (How a skeleton can use a retinal scan is beyond even me just roll with it lol.) "Is all this security really *that* necessary?" Alphys questioned, questioning the same thing you probably are. "Yes. You know how paranoid I am." Alphys chuckled a bit, not saying anything. And so Gaster used the retinal scan, and then the door finally opened. When the door opened it revealed a room with the same padded walls but they were darker in color. as he walked across the tiles of the same color on the floor, Alphys noticed a tube... and in it was the soul. "I-Is t-that the soul?" She stuttered, expecting to witness the sight she beheld, but still curious. "Yes, Alphys. That is the soul made from pure blue gamma radiation." Gaster responded with a hasty manner... as they approached the tube, closer, Alphys noticed... a ribcage had formed around the soul. "O-oh my god! G-Gaster! L-look!" Gaster was on the side looking at some papers on a desk. it had a computer on it, as well. He came over to look at the soul. Gaster had replied with shock "Oh my god! Is that- " Alphys interrupted him; "Yes! I-it appears a ribcage has formed around the soul!" Gaster fell backwards, landing on cold, hard floor. His hands were on the floor to keep himself from falling backwards. He took one hand to his forehead, stuttering; "I-I can't believe it... I was right! I really am creating life!" He pushed himself upwards, as he took a closer look at it. "...The rib cage has fully developed, and a spine is growing too." Alphys was just sitting there in awe, unable to get words out. "This is going greater then I thought it ever could! Alphys, get the Needle Drill I need a bone marrow sample. " "R-right away!" Alphys jumped out of her shock, immediately going over to a near table, where, surely enough, there was a needle drill. "A-are you sure about this, Gaster? It could harm the subject w-without the proper s-sedatives?" Alphys said, concerned. As she looked at the tube... there was liquid inside of it as she noticed the top of the tube was open. "A-and how are you going to get it anyways? In all that liquid?" Gaster replied to Alphys's concerns. "Yes. I assure you that this lifeform will be fine. It is currently absent of sensuality. And as for retrieval... have you forgotten that I have telekinesis?" Alphys replied to Gaster's reply. She was still nervous as usual. "O-oh. I guess I did forget..." Gaster used his telekinesis to make the needle drill go into the tube... there it turned on, making a perfect circle in the middle of it’s right hand, and the sample floated out from it. Gaster used the telekinesis to take both out... He gave the needle drill to Alphys as he examined the bone sample. "Fascinating... How very interesting... Isn't it, Alphys?" “Y-yeah. V-very interesting. It’s unlike anything I’ve ever seen or heard of.” Alphys responded, placing the drill back on the table nearby. Gaster put the bone sample under a microscope. As he examined the cells of the bone he noticed how fast it was regenerating. In fact, they were regenerating so fast it was nearly impossible to count how many there were as compared to when he first looked at it even just for the 7 seconds he’d been looking at it. He got up from the table the mirco scope had been on, and went off to a nearby closet. Alphys watched him curiously. Gaster soon came out of the closet, clothed in welding gear… as he had an actual flamthrower. “W-Wh-WHY THE HECK DO YOU HAVE A FLAMETHROWER?!” Gaster lifted up the face gaurd, smiling. “Why for science, of course!” He said, also in a confindent… dare say “cheerful” manner. Alphys just had an expression of unamusment, folding her arms and rolling her eyes. “Well, why are you using it now?” Gaster still had a a gleeful expression… like a child at christmas… “I’m going to burn the bone sample, obviously!” Alphys sighed expectantly. “Why am I not surprised? Well, you don’t need my permission so go ahead.” Gaster put the face gaurd down, walking over to the bone sample of the table, he replied to alphys’ remark as he screwed a fuel tank into the flamethrower. “Why of course I need your approval. You are my assitant, after all. I have you to guide me in my scientific discoveries. I must admit left unsupervised I am a very dangerous man… and scientist for that matter.” Alphys discontinued her pouting, to look up at Gaster, slowly smiling. She fixed her glasses, saying this to him: “Th-hank you. I really appriciate your support too.” “I know Alphys. I know.” He stops at the table. He attempts to alert Alphys… of the obvious. “Now, I need you to stand back. This is a flamethrower.” Alphys took a step back. She watched Gaster use the flamethrower to roast the bone sample to oblivion. “Damn… That was a 50 50 on whrether it would incinerate or not… but I suppose this outcome was entirely obvious from the beginning. Fire makes tremendous, undeniable change, after all.” Alphys stepped forward, standing by Gaster looking at the spot it was burned. She noticed that there wasn’t even ashes left. “That is true… very true…” Gaster went over to look at the forming lifeform once again. “Just think… I’m going to be a father soon…” Alphys looked at Gaster in confusion. “W-what? I-I beg your pardon?” “Well not literally. I made this soul, so technically… this lifeform would be my child…” Gaster responded quickly. Alphys’s expression went back to normal, as she fixed her glasses. “O-oh. I see. Thanks for clarifying.” Gaster turned to alphys. “I need another sample, alphys. It was… reckless of me to burn that sample like that… But we still need one for study.” “B-but in that case how many samples would you take? How much can it-” Gaster interupted Alphys’s concerns, with a firm, assuring tone. “I assure you that it will be fine. It currently cannot feel pain. also, it is growing. So in this current state taking small samples from it will not harm it.” Alphys paused. Having a face of nervous concern, it soon faded into one of neutrality. “I see… Sorry, Gaster. I have been doubting you to much…” Gaster squated down, to look alphys in the eyes. “You are right, Alphys. You do doubt too much. Not only me, you doubt everything. True you do need to rid yourself of doubt, but a universal thing about life is nothing is perfect. It is nothing to be ashamed of…” Alphys still had a neutral expression, as she watched Gaster go over to the lifeform to get another sample. They got the sample the same way before, Gaster put it on a different table. “W-what will you do now, Gaster?” “I’m going to see how the sample reacts to poision.” And so doing exactly that, Gaster got a vial of acid from a snake. Gaster poured the acid on the bone sample, and it burned right through it… but a few seconds later, it regenerated. Gaster, not exactly shocked, but facinated, tried something else. He took a blade from the same closet the acid vial and flamethrower were. He cut the sample to pieces. It was, of course, in pieces. But the pieces were… draw to each other. They gradually reached out to eachother to reform. And when they did, it was completely reformed as if nothing ever happened. “Facsinating…” Gaster said, speaking his thoughts aloud. “Gaster! Look!” Gaster turned, as Alphys pointed at the tube the lifeform grew in. The lifeform had grown further. What was once only a spine and ribcage, was also hips and shoulders. “My. God! It went from a mere spine, forming a rib cage, to having full rib cage, shoulders, and hips in the same hour! Is this real?!” Alphys looked up over at Gaster. “Yes, Gaster. This is very real.” Gaster was… Dumbfounded, to say the least. Alphys continued on “W-what if by the regeneration of the sample you cut in half, the body also r-reacted with a spike of growth? Could that be possible?” Gaster looked down for a moment, taking time to think to himself. He then looked up back at the lifeform. “Yes… I suppose, that could be very possible. After all, it’s not the most bizzare thing that’s happened all day now is it?” Alphys chuckled in agreement. “Yeah, you do have a good point there.” As they both took a moment to themselves, looking at the lifeform. Then Gaster broke the silence with a socking statement. “Alphys. We do need to clean up here. We should go ahead, organize, and move out of the lab.” Alphys looked at Gaster, in a little bit of shock, confusion and approval at the same time. She was very confused. “B- wha- I-” Gaster cut off her stuttering. “You heard me. There is a war going on, isn’t there? Besides that Asgore told us to pack up.” Alphys breathed, calmed down, and asked something frankly, yet nervously. “But what about the lifeform? I mean, even with the pace it’s going it’d take a few hours at most!” Gaster shook his head. “Well the way I see it, in that time we orginize and move everything, the lifeform should be grown.” Alphys nodded in agreement, as she went over to the table to start organizing and packing. Gaster went to the tub, a wispered. “Don’t worry… Your father will keep you safe, young one.” Gaster had assured it. Although without a body it still has a soul. “What was that?” “Oh, nothing! You focus over there and I’ll focus over here!” Gaster avoided the subject, going over to try to orginize all the papers. “Okay…?” Hours later of organizing, packing and transporting it all back to the capitial, they finally come back to the lab where the life form is… “Alphys?” Gaster asked, awaiting Alphys to catch up with him. Out of breath, Alphys leans against a wall to catch her breath. “Y.. yes Gaster?” Gaster is much more fit, and for that matter, taller then Alphys, giving him the lead of which caused Alphy’s fatigue. “Beyond these doors, lies the possibility of change for our history itself. Are you ready, my assistant?” Alphys nodded. “I’m ready when you are, Gaster.” Gaster mumbled out loud “Well given that I’m always ready anyways…” He opend the door to his lab once again… with the unessacary security. When they came in to see the tube… they saw the celing had broken above it. The tube was shattered, and the lifeform on the floor. Gaster immediatly rushed over. “Oh no no no no no no NO NO NO!” Alphys stood silent, worried. “Oh god no! Please be alive!” He got on his knees, holding the lifeform in his arms, examining him. In all this time of marination in the tube filled with growth acceleration liquids, the lifeform had a nearly developed… child’s body. The blue soul was in the middle of the rib cage, of course, but there was no arua around the lifeform… which usually means a monster is on the verge of death. Gaster held it’s forehead to his own. All Alphys could really do was watch, and hope for a miracle as Gaster did. Soon enough, the lifeform started coughing up blood. Not a good sign of health but that would mean that it is at least alive. Gaster sighed in relief, and Alphys too. “My boy… you're alive!” Gaster had said in joy, knowing that his experiment had not failed him and brought him a son. He looked up, quietly praying. Alphys just looked in awe, still unable to grasp the fact that Gaster was able to accomplish this feat of which no mortal should be able to do. Taking a closer look, they had realized that he had a crack through his eye socket, going down to his neck.. Gaster didn’t panic, as it was expected for such injury to occur in such an event which caused the tube to collapse and shatter. “I think I should name you… Jacob.” He coughed up some more blood, as he responded to his name. “Jacob? What does that mean?” A quick moment of shock washed over Gaster and Alphys, hearing him speak as soon as this. “You… you can talk?” Jacob answered in confusion “Talk? Why wouldn’t I be able to talk?” Looking for an answer, Gaster didn’t exactly know how to argue with it. Jacob was there, as a soul, able to hear what Alphys and Gaster were saying near him, after all. “It appears we have a sharp one, don’t we Alphys?” “Y-yeah. He does seem pretty smart. M-maybe he takes after you.” Alphys responded, snapping from shock, back to reality. Jacob was simply in Gaster’s arms still, uncomfortable. “Uhm… could you… maybe let go of me? I’m fine now.” Gaster put Jacob back onto his feet. Jcob didn’t have anything to wear, given the fact that he had been in a tube, growing, and so Gaster would have no idea what would fit him. So he just went ahead and gave Jacob his lab coat. It was… about 3 times his size, but it was better than nothing. Jacob was uncomfortable about it, but the 3 went ahead to the capitial. There they met up with the king, Asgore. Asgore was watering his golden buttercup flowers, as he d0es daily to make sure they get the care they deserve. “Just a moment. I’ll be done watering these flowers soon enough.” He was just an inch or two taller than Gaster himself, Gaster being a beanstalk. He wore golden armor, his crown also being golden. He also wore a blue cape. His other features included long, white, sharp horns atop his head. His fur was white, as well. When the King turned around to face Gaster, it revealed a yellow beard, accompanied by deep, dark blue eyes and a lovely smile. Asgore looks down to see the child who wore Gaster’s lab coat. “Now, who is this little one?” His expression went from gleeful, to joyful, mixed with concern. “This is Jacob, your majesty. He is my son.” Asgore chuckled in the deep, yet gentle voice of which he has. “Gaster. I can always count on you and your ceaseless formality. Please; haven’t I asked you to simply call me Asgore, instead of “your majesty”? “ Asgore still kept his expression, as Gaster also kept his, which was serious, and sharp as ever. “Yes… Asgore.” Asgore smiled more “There, you see? You can loosen up every once and a while now can’t you?” Gaster simply nodded, as Alphys stood idly by, watching them… but mostly watching Jacob. Jacob, however, was busy observing everything around him. Being in the throne room, there was obviously a throne in the center of the room, and 4 stained glass windows evenly aligned on each wall. There were also, on the ground, the golden buttercup flowers that Asgore had been watering. “Now, what about your son here?” Asgore implied patiently. “Well, he’s not actually my son. And that’s why I came here… I created a soul. Asgore. I used Gamma Majiks to create a soul, put it in a growth tube and allowed it to grow a body. I call him my son… because I did create him, after all. I feel responsibility for this one.” Gaster gently placed his hand upon Jacob’s head, implying the warmth felt that he just described. Asgore at first had an expression of shock upon hearing the news, but soon went into a serious expression. “I see… you say you made a soul from Gamma Majiks? How is this even possible?:” “I don’t quite know myself, you see… Blue Gamma Majik is a resource of which is nigh impossible to obtain. The way I made it was perfecting multiple Gamma Majiks in extreme conditions and I highly doubt I could replicate it again. “ Asgore took a moment to think to himself. Jacob was still looking around, and alphys was in discomfort from all of what was going on. “Even so… I know you, Gaster. You can do anything you set your mind to. You are the smartest-.” Gaster put up his hand, interrupting Asgore. “With all due respect… Asgore… Aside from the impossibility that is making it… and the 1 in god-knows-how much of a chance of being able to perfect it… It’s also… just not right. Cheating life like this, playing god, I can’t bring myself to make more. “ Asgore kept a serious expression. “I see… so it’s not only the conditions, but morals that make you unable to create more?” Gaster nodded in silence. Jacob, blissfully innocent, still looked around in awe of his surroundings. “But, what about simply giving this power to our military?” Gaster shook his head, firmly. “Magikus Gasimum Radiation is a volatile substance to begin with. Purple Gamma, a form 1 lesser then blue gamma, was able to send my entire lab into a frenzy merely by being in unstable conditions. If I hadn’t contained it in time, it may possibly have destroyed it. If Purple Gamma could do that to the lab, then what do you think Blue Gamma would do to a person?” Asgore was a bit shocked by this information, but kept a calm expression. “I see… So enhancing our lives with Gamma Majik is out of the question, then?” Gaster nodded. “I just don’t think any of us could really take the risk of using it. I hope you understand, your majesty.” Asgore looked up from being drowned in thoughts. His serious expression then changed back to his usual, joyful one, smiling. “There is no reason for such concern, my old friend! Really. It’s quite fine.” Gaster bowed, getting ready to be off to continue… whatever he was going to do. “Wait, Gaster.” Gaster stopped just before turning around to grab Jacob’s attention. Jacob was still… looking at everything. As if he hadn’t spent this entire time just staring at it all anyways. “If you cannot use Gamma Majik for people… then why not weapons? It could turn the war.” Gaster paused for a moment. Considering this option, it could be something to solve all of the aforementioned issues with Blue Gamma Majik. “... Alright. I think I could do that. Yes, I think it could be very possible for me to imbue items with BGM. “ “Splendid! Then it is decided?” Asgore said, approving of his own idea. Gaster nodded, as he went over to Jacob, who was looking through one of the windows to the right. “Alright Jacob. It’s time to go now.” “But dad, there’s so much going on outside!” Gaster looked up, with an amused expression, only for it to turn into one of shock. Through the window he witnessed slaughter. No. Slaughter was a term to sugar-coat it. THere was, everywhere you could look, relentless, pointless mutilation without any form of mercy at all.
