HG X UNDERTALE AU ~ THE GAMES [OLD FANFIC]

PART 10 ~ I : PASTEL

Blue P.o.V

We got an emergency signal, noticing radioactive smoke entering the tunnels of the District 2 secret railroad. Everyone knew that Cressida... along with Ink were dead but didn't want to mention it at all. I hope there might still be a chance to save Pastel, the laboratory and the district itself. Not all is lost.

"Cross! Go close the doors and warn everyone, now!"

He obeyed and ran off as I ordered Lust the same thing. Dream seemed proud of me. "Go... check provisions and gather everyone in the lowest stages, the fumes won't get us there."

I stayed alone, holding the scarf and worrying about my own friends. I've lost many people I loved and as Error once told me, 'If we show our weaknesses, people will find a way to take advantage of us so just show it to people who deserve it.'. I sat down, not ready to assume the responsibility of being the leader... It was already heavy.

I didn't like this... the odds were stacked against us. I was scared but I wasn't ready to give up, not in front of the thousands that I loved.

Pastel P.o.V

I recognized the room I was approaching. It was where I'd stay for hours, watching the heartbeat of my lover. A long beeping sound caught my attention which I ignored, staying put and overcome by my anxiety. I found that this would be a good place to escape from, it has a window and the drop shouldn't be too crucial.

I kicked the vent out, catching it before it fell to the ground. These can make so much noise but I think I can use it to my advantage.

I heard footsteps come my way as I hid in the closet, panting and finding it hard to breathe because of my anxiety. The prolonged sound still stayed and an armed man came inside to check it out. He read out loud.

"Ink Comyet - 07164 - Heart/Soul rate."

And then I remembered what that beep was... he wasn't alive anymore. I sobbed and blocked my mouth, making sure that I wouldn't be heard. The other just walked out and closed the door.

That's when I crawled out of the doors and touched the screen before weeping loudly. He's gone. I'll never see him again and... I've lost everyone that was close to me. In rage, I slammed my fist against it, the glass shattering over my hand and all over the floor. "S-Shit."

I looked at the mess as the door opened briskly, making me alert. "There you are!"

A mudlark barged in the room. I tasted blood in my mouth as I coughed it up by reflex. I kept crying, the vent piece in my hands.

"Kill me! Just do it!"

I yelled, breaking the silence, the sound echoing all over the place. "I can't bear anything else anymore!"

I screamed. "..."

The warrior raised his weapon at me as I smiled, taking a breath. It was my one way out. As the weapon fired, I felt a sharp pain on my stomach, my blood splattering all over my face. It was calm, peaceful as I could finally sleep forever.

I fell over the glass shards, exhausted and painless. They looked like stars with my blurred vision, oh how nice it would be to see the stars with you, my lovely Ink Comyet. I closed my eyes and took a few more shaky breaths as the person next to me fell to the ground and something came to grab me.

"☠⚐✏ ☠⚐✏"

I knew it was that experiment. I felt happy to have created something that could care for people. Care for someone like myself. Just live a happy life, like you surely did. "Pastel... ♎□ ⍓□◆ ♒♏♋❒ ❍♏✍✏"

It was too late as I felt my own conscious blur out. " ♋ ♏◆◻✏"

I love you, Ink.
