## Stats & Info

### Soul trait

Monster

This story begins as a normal Disbelief!Papyrus Timeline. Same thing as usual... Sans decides to fight the human after experiencing many genocide routes, he gets killed, human continues, and Papyrus faces off against the human in the Judgement Hall. But what would happen if these events happened time and time again? What if Sans follows the path of Dust!Sans? A merciless killer ravaging through every monster in the Underground, including Papyrus. More and more routes passed, Sans eventually discovered ways to kill monsters in the quickest of ways... a "speedrun" if you will. So, using his knowledge, Sans manages to kill every single monster in the Underground, including Papyrus, before the Human had barely even left the ruins. Over time, Papyrus' phantom started haunting Sans, watching him make every kill, every murder, every slaughter with ease. Finally, the Confrontation in the woods. Just the Player and Sans. The battle was long and hard, but eventually, Sans was struck down. Papyrus had also fought alongside Sans for a bit and by now knew what the human was capable of. So, before he could disappear from existence, he pulled himself together, still a phantom, but no longer in need of Sans to keep him real. Time Skip to the Judgment Hall: The human has wandered through the empty underground, but still haven't reset due to an unknown presence they felt, and have now arrived at the Judgement Hall, where a familiar, yet eerie Phantom was floating. "Look, Human," He said, "I don't know what really caused Sans to do this, I don't know why he hated you so much. All I know, is that because of you, all of my friends are d-d-DEAD..." He looked straight into the human's eyes and very sorrowfully he said, "It seems you need to know what real pain feels like..." and the battle began...

During the battle, the human knows that Papyrus can't be killed, so they try to torment him by trying to damage Sans' jacket, which just makes Papyrus even angrier.

## Appearance

Papyrus is seen as what he is, a Phantom brought to life by pure will and Determination. He is usually made up of one floating head with sharp teeth as to appear more menacing and scarier, 2 red, armless gloves floating down by where his physical body would be, and a red, long, wavering scarf wrapped around his "neck." Phantom!Belief also stars a dusty Sans jacket around his "neck," hoodie on his head. His eyes glow in many different ways depending on what phase the battle is in, but will always include some form of red.

## Battle

### Phase 1

His left eye glows a mixture between orange and red, still retaining his brother's determination. On his right eye there is a stream of tears, pouring down onto the jacket.

On his left hand he wields a light purple, long sharp-ended bone which he uses to attack and block attacks. He doesn't block because he'll get hurt, as he is basically unkillable, he blocks to protect Sans' jacket, his only memory left of him.

During the battle, Papyrus very much tries to hide the fact that he doesn't really want to hurt the human, but still says words like "I can start believing in you if you just stop attacking."

### Phase 2

Both of his eyes now glow a bright red with the right having yellow flashes. He still has a stream of tears, but it now very thin. The jacket now has a somewhat small gash on it from the human slashing it.

On both of his hands he wields the 2 pieces of his broken bone from phase 1. He doesn't block attacks anymore, as he just "Parries" them similar to Dusttrust Phase 2, except he uses both of the bones to do so.

During this phase, Papyrus looks a lot angrier and deranged from Sans' jacket being damaged. The screen will usually say things such as "Papyrus doesn't believe in you, he never did..."

### Phase 3

#### Phase 3.1

In this phase, it is now only his right eye that glows. It glows either a light red or a deep maroon depending on how much force he's using. He is no longer crying and is now what can be described as insane. Sans' Jacket is now very damaged, with the sleeves now cut off.

His left hand is now held up in a fist whilst holding his torn scarf. The scarf serves no purpose battle-wise but does give the feeling of sorrow.

Papyrus looks straight at the player with his glaring eyes. The screen now sometimes says, "It seems Papyrus has finally started to lose himself =) "

#### Phase 3.2

In this phase, Papyrus summons Sans to fight alongside him, even though Sans' is just a figment of Papyrus' imagination, like what Papyrus was to Sans when he was still alive. Papyrus is still insane.

Sans is dressed in his normal DustTale get-up, with his dusty jacket, creepy smile, and overall need for EXP, though curiously enough, Sans' jacket's sleeves seem to be a darker color to the rest of the jacket.

Sans eventually disappears, leaving Papyrus once alone again. This leaves Papyrus to question all of his life choices, leaving him vulnerable. Screen usually says things like. "One brother, two brothers, risen from the dead. Down goes one now the other is left to behead =)"

### Phase 4

Papyrus' eyes no longer glow, but he is still very much crazed as Sans' Jacket has now completely fallen apart. Papyrus' 2 hands are now 4 hands circling him in a dance of death. His scarf is now wrapped around where Papyrus' Physical Body would be. Once again, the scarf shows no purpose. Papyrus' now slowly fades away from existence as he no longer has anything to keep him attached to this mortal world, and he eventually disappears, ending the fight.

Papyrus' attacks are what can be described as "unfair," though they gradually get weaker as the phase continues, ending with him using one last final bone attack. The screen says things like "He's finally leaving this world to join his brother's. =)"

"Well, it seems this battle is finally over. While I gradually fade from existence, I have one thing left say to you human: **WE** aLwAyS rEmEmBeR!!!"

## Attacks/Abilities

**Phantom Blaster**: Papyrus summons a semi-translucent blaster similar to Disbelief Blasters, only the eyes match accordingly to Papyrus' eyes. The blaster's beam can be any color including blue, orange, red, and purple.

**Bones**: Like any skeleton, Papyrus can use his own form of bone attacks. The bones can either be blue, orange, purple, or red depending on how Papyrus uses them.

**His own head**: Like in the DustTale Fight, Papyrus can "detach" his head from his non-existent body and have it move around like an attack.

**Blue Magic**: Papyrus can also use blue magic to move and change the direction in which gravity affects the player.
