Chapter 16:

Y/n POV:

"W-wait! Don't let them take me away from you! Stay with me!" cried Kenneth, resisting the guards and scientists who were trying to take him away.

Adorable

I laugh and wave him goodbye, nudging Sans to quit frowning. He glared at me and made a sign of goodbye to Kenneth.

At this sight, the taller yelled loud and clear:
"I can die happy now." with a hand where his heart would be, a single tear dripping down his cheek.

"My, my, brother, are you feeling alright? Or are you doing favoritism toward the new family member?" I interrogated, twirling around to annoy him.

"He's annoying! Just like you... You bunch of weirdos..." he whispered, hiding his face under his black scarf. I look at him with a teasing smirk and start laughing, stepping faster.

The both of us walk toward the exit and Sans stopped me from walking further, one hand in front of me to prevent me to go any further. I look at him confuse and stiffen when he started to frown. (more than the normal)

"What's in your pocket?" he asked, glancing at the enormous and evident lump in my blouse. I look at him guiltily and hid it away from his view.

"None of your business, dear brother"

"Show me what's inside and I swear that if it makes the goddamn security system ring at the exit, I will kill you."

...

I grabbed my pockets and take three sharps blades away. Posed on a random and convenient placed table, Sans facepalm, and hit the back of my head. I shout in pain and rubbed the painful spot that hurt.

"Where the hell did you get them from?!"

[A few minutes ago...]

Leaving the office, I walk past Killer, giving him a little glance. He glared at me, making me flinch in surprise. His eyes socket shown two red dots, expressing his rage and madness and his black tar kept dropping from his cheeks.

The guards, which one was Undyne, made him kneel down at the ground in anticipation, arms tied behind his back. I sigh disappointedly and approach the skeleton, with obviously everyone's alarms. I kneel down to his level and raised his chin, making him look at me.

"What are you doing punk!? Stay away from him!" shouted Undyne but eventually stopped when she felt that the intruder halted his hostility. Unnoticeable to everyone except Killer and me, my eyes flared a purple and dim light, suddenly increasing the magic in my surroundings.

Killer's red and menacing dots disappeared from his eyes sockets, showing for a very short moment a white weak light in his right eye. I smiled tiredly and let go of his face, getting up.

To everyone's surprise, Killer's face was relaxed, calm and he didn't show any hostility anymore.

"If you need me to calm him down, call me," I said patting Killer's head. I turned back and Sans watched me with wide eyes, no lights in them, and Kenneth who was chewing some chocolate at the back of the corridor, discussing in Fresh with a scientist.

[Back in time....]

"So when you did your weird trick, you stole his hidden weapons that the scientists and guards didn't notice?!" yelled Sans in frustration, opening the front door and officially leaving the laboratory.

I followed him after, nodding at each question and remarks that he gave me. When his hand was offered to me, I grabbed it, confuse and I looked at him.

"Short cut"

Were the last words I heard before I fall on the ground, hands on the stomach with the feeling of puking. Sans looked at me confuse and tapped my back to make me feel better.

"Don't ask, teleportation can make me sick times to times..." I managed to let out. He placed an 'Oh' and stand up to walk inside the kitchen. He came back twelve seconds later with a glass of water and a huge cookie, the same that I had eaten this morning.

"I'm going back to my room bye"

"Seeya in two months then"

He turned around to laugh and teleport inside of his room, leaving me on the ground, eating and drinking what he gave me.










Somewhere else, in a very dark and cold room, were two skeletons talking to each other. One was pacing around, hands behind the back like an old king and the other standing in the middle, hand on his chin, thinking of a solution to their issue. Both were silent, waiting for the others to come back from their mission, the destroyer was debating with himself if he should have accepted Nightmare's proposition to accompany and help them or at least make sure they would come back alive. Nightmare, on his side, was smirking.

At first, when Error told him about this secret parallel universe that was left alone, he was reluctant to send his boys inside. A third energy was detected around the multiverse again and like the two others, it was connected with them. This energy nullified the magic, making it impossible to be used.

This means that there's an energy that boosts the magic, making everyone's power and strength multiplicate, an energy that drains, absorbs the magic, and weakens everyone, and the last one that only makes the magic unusable. It was like some sort of balance.

And all of these abnormal entities were located in a universe called Absorbtale, a place that no one ever heard of, had never seen or went. Maybe at the exception of Death and Life.

The reason why he was reluctant is that he wasn't sure that his friend was being honest with him and that the energies were just residing in a modest Universe but he gave him a chance. The explanation of why he's smirking is because he felt one of the energies that he specifically needed the most, the booster, echoing its power around the multiverse not so long ago, he was now sure that Error gave him good and useful information for once.

While the two were drowned in the silence, three skeletons barged in the room, without knocking. The three of them were Cross, Murder, and Horror, all panting and struggling to keep their balance. Cross was the center of attention because he was gravely injured at his left arm and had a large cut on his cheek while the others were simply fine.

"Where are Killer and Scoundrel?" asked Nightmare, sitting in his throne.

(I almost wrote, "posing his bitter ass on his mother fucking throne :)" )

"Well, Killer has been captured and had been attacked first with some sort of anti-magic" started Murder. Error rose a brow and immediately frown. He had never seen or felt an anti-magic before except the third energy, could it be that thing that has attacked Killer?

"And Scoundrel?" interrogate Nightmare impatiently. The three skeletons started to sweatdropped at the sudden chill in their bones.

"Before we get caught, he was attacked by a lady with some sort of fire flames. He blamed Killer for the attack and they both started to fight until Scoundrel started to cough some sort of purple flames... And he's now in a coma and the medical room..." answered Cross.

Nightmare's eye darkens as he slowly tilts his head down, facing his fist that has been trembling.

"Who is that 'lady'?" he asked with a good amount of venom and hatred in his voice.

"A psychopath arsonist skeleton, which we didn't get their name.., said Murder in a nonchalant tone, glaring at the ground in fear of his boss, and I think that they also are a kid.." added Cross with a serious face.

The Guardian of Negativity simply left, not adding anything in the discussion. He slams the big-ass door and disappears from everyone's sight, probably to get his hand on you.
