A Brother's Will

1|Genocide… This is a word, which is defined as “mindless slaughter”.

2|The Fallen… The Fallen was once a Human child.

3|But, upon falling into the underground, they soon fell victim to their own sadistic temptations, therefore earning them the title of ***"The Fallen"***.

4|They had done so many runs… So much mindless slaughtering that the title used to describe this… creature, has lost it’s grip on which to describe the reality that is their sadistic nature.

5|Sans the skeleton, the poor soul cursed with the knowledge of knowing all the resets, and the slaughtering, finally had enough. He asked Gaster for the power to overcome The Fallen. Gaster could only give Sans a boost with a vial of pure HATE, but unfortunately… it would not be enough.

6|Sans encountered Papyrus, and told him everything.

7| Sans: "Hey, Paps."

8|Papyrus looked at sans in disapproval… still blissful to what had happened.

9| Papyrus: "SANS! Where were you? You had me worried! I can’t seem to find anybody. I keep searching but..."

10|Papyrus looked at sans in shock, seeing the piles, upon piles, of dust on his clothes. There was so much dust that it made Papyrus cover his mouth with his glove, reflexively out of disgust… But, Papyrus knew there had to be a reason.

11|Papyrus: "S-sans? W-why are you covered in dust?"

12|Sans was frowning.

13|Sans: "Listen, papyrus… There’s something I need to tell you. A Lot of what I am about to say may surprise you, but I need you to stay calm."

14|Papyrus stuttered: "W-whatever you need sans. I’m here."

15|Sans was still serious.

16|Sans: "You know I’m never serious, Paps. But there’s this human, you see… Well, no. They aren’t even human. They’ve fallen past the point of humanity."

17|"Humans at least have standards… but this kid is something else."

18|"You're probably not gonna believe what I’m about to say next, but I assure you every word of it is true."

19|"This kid has the power to reset. They have the power to go back in time, and do things that no one will remember… but I remember… I don’t know how exactly, but I’m immune to their manipulation, and so I can remember it all.

20|"This… Fallen child, if it even is a child, had slaughtered the entire underground so many countless times. I lost count at the 3445th reset, and that was a while ago…"

21|"At first they slaughtered the underground, quickly and mercifully. But eventually they got bored of it. Eventually they decided to start mutilating everyone… You, Undyne, and countless others had been ripped apart slowly by that thing.

22|"Eventually I had to stop it so I went to slaughter everyone myself to get stronger… I had to. I had to stop them. I killed everyone thinking that I could stop that beast… but every time they bested me. I tried more times than I could count, papyrus. I just want this hell to end.”

23|Sans… Sans started crying, as he fell to the ground on his knees and hands. Papyrus looked at Sans, in more shock than before. But, still believing his brother, He crouched down, and hugged sans.

24|Papyrus: "It’s not your fault, Sans. You only tried to protect us."

25|Sans continued his sobbing, and Papyrus continued to try to comfort him.

26|Soon enough, The Fallen came into Snowdin town, smiling. Thier skin was paler then the snow itself, the eyes being like two gates to the abyss. In the centers holding glowing red pupils. The bags around their eyes were unbelievably unquantifiable. Thier smile was unnaturally wide. They held a knife coated in blood and dust. They had dust on their clothes, so much in fact it was nearly impossible to tell what the clothes looked like...

27|Their left eye twitched, as they walked closer to sans and papyrus. Before opening thier mouth, revealing a tounge that looked very very dry, licking their lips. They closed their mouth, smirking arrogantly.

28|They swiftly lunged towards Papyrus, knife pointing towards him. Papyrus looked towards this creature, tears in his eyes. Sans stood idly.

29|At the exact moment the fallen had nearly struck Papyrus down, Sans got up in front of papyrus, blocking the attack, and papyrus moved out of the way fast enough to dodge the piecing slash. Sans, tears still in his eyes, turned to look at papyrus.

30|Sans: "P…Papyrus? P-promise me somethin, will ya?"

31|Papyrus inched closer to Sans, as The Fallen just continued smiling.

32|Papyrus: "What is it S-sans?”

33|Sans smiled; "Promise me that you’ll never change, okay? Keep being strong, and never give up."

34|Papyrus: "I promise sans. You will be safe we just need to-"

35|Sans had already been halfway into dust, which caused Papyrus’s pause.
