HG X UNDERTALE AU ~ THE GAMES [OLD FANFIC]

PART 4 ~ III : COMPLICATIONS

Ink P.o.V

I was thrown back into my cell after receiving a beating. It was my first ever time being whipped by someone and my back hurt enormously. It couldn't stop bleeding but the cover somehow helped to drain out the black fluid.

Suddenly, I heard the whole conversation with Dr Flenius and I had before he tortured me for my defiance. My own screams made me sick as I went back to the corner and puked, unable to handle it. At the end, he added a personalised message for me...

"Ink, if you do that again, you can forget about seeing your precious Pastel."

I swear, if that bastard hurts him, I won't hesitate to return the favour. I then noticed a small camera at the end of my room. I stared into it then flipped the guy off from here as I felt a small shock to mean that he was most probably watching me right now.

I smiled, before sleeping through the entire day, hoping that this was all just a dream or that I'd never wake up.

Flenius P.o.V

I watched the security cameras as that little shit just flipped me off. It's incredible how much determination he has considering he's about to lose everything and everyone he loves. Just one click of a button and his entire family and friends will be decimated before his very eyes.

I wasn't worried or anything since tomorrow was the big test day. We were going to test the creation of artificial souls, something that can save the lives of millions and bring back so much profit. I was delighted to see my team of workers put so much pride into what they did to benefit the overall community. I hope this goes well... it has a fifty percent chance of failure but this is the risk I'm willing to take to advance science.

We haven't seen soulless individuals since the lab tech malfunction, thirty years ago. These ones were weak, melted like amalgamates and were very unstable when they used magic. Unfortunately, this monster has been sterilized so we can't work with magic. I do remember a time where monsters didn't need to be controlled and incidents with magic were a regular occurence. Many escapes have been filed but they stopped happening after magic removal was obligatory. We've been trying to obtain bewitched monsters but those who aren't urgently sterilized don't live past a few months... it's impossible.

"Assistant!"

One of the helpers came in.

"Yes Sir?"

"Get the tools ready for the operation tomorrow."

"Yes Sir."

They then walked out. I began thinking about putting 7 with the others, perhaps a partner of his own kind to help him through the after effects of the surgery. This one could monitor his behaviour instead of me checking the cameras every two seconds. I'm sure monsters like him can understand each other, hopefully... this'll be part of a second experiment. Social aspects of contact between two mentally insane people.

I heard the phone ring as I bent over to check who it was. Someone from the NCP, what an unlikely circumstance.

"Hello?"

I asked, waiting for a response.

"This is X. We'd like for you to cancel your experimentation for tomorrow."

Cross P.o.V

"What?! Didn't you specify that you needed this to be done ASAP?"

I was nervous, sweaty as Azur stood beside me. She kept whispering that everything would be believable enough if I kept acting with the voice changer on.
