let's travel back in time a few days ago...

NIGHT's POV:

MY NONEXISTENT BROWS furrowed together and I sighed, how could this have happened and why was there some stupid ordeal happening in one of the AU's here anyway?

"What exactly happened here, and why are you guys..." I clenched my jawline, trying to mask the annoyance I felt just from seeing my subordinates whom were bandaged. That means they encountered a tricky or another powerful being who was able to damage them.

Particularly, Killer and Horror. Murder went out on a mission on his own to his own universe, so I left that guy alone and now I am stuck with two unhinged skeletons.

"we told 'ya boss, we kicked someone's ass out there." Horror answered, though his expression showed he wasn't pleased one bit.

"And that's why you sustained a lot of injuries?"

"yep, yep."

"...I don't believe it."

Who could ever give Horror a hard time? He's one of the most deranged cards I have next to Killer, who nodded his own skull in agreement to Horror's claims.

I looked unsure at the two skeletons kneeling before me and unashamedly, showed their few injuries. There were mostly cuts and scars, and it could mean one thing. Their opponent must have wielded a weapon equivalent to the value of THE TRUE KNIFE.

(The True Knife, it's a reference from the knife you get in Undertale at Genocide Route.)

"Then rest up. I'll get Murder back later in his mission."

I dismissed the two skeletons before they disappeared in front of my sight, sighing heavily at the heaps of problem I am facing right now. It's been like this for an entire week, some multi-dimensional hopper bursts in an AU and causes a ruckus.

'Think back to the story they told you earlier.' Goop Lord intervened and I also thought back to that particular story Horror and Killer told me, everything didn't make sense nor did it even add up to the story's plot.

"Just thinking about it makes me sick, I don't even want to deal with something like that again."

I found that story somewhat unbelievable, but I took it into careful consideration.

'I haven't heard of those rebel groups, even way before Mare's time.'

It didn't add up or make any sense, but the fact that one of them has THE TRUE KNIFE means that the balance is tipping to their favor. Each Sans will be vulnerable to the effects of the true knife because it's the same knife used in genocide runs.

"Wouldn't it be easier to resolve it with THE LOCKET?" I asked Nightmare but he didn't respond, as though thinking heavily on their next decision and their plan.

'It could. But that rule only applies to humans, not monsters.' Just hearing the inevitable truth makes me not want to listen a thing at all about Nightmare.

I leaned against the wall, currently we are at the temporary base or headquarters of the bad sanses. Near the window, I looked outside and just watched the moon in the distant horizon. As if to think deeply, I rubbed my chin gently and slowly.

flashbacks.

There were a lot of them.

In a random peaceful AU- a copy of DanceTale, everyone is endangered because of a rogue alternative universe Sanses are attacking and just killing everyone on sight without any regards to their enemies.

Corpses began to pile up near death's door as Horror squatted and looked at a human body, noticing the magic seal done on this human.

"ey kills, better watch out. there's gotta be a magic user here somewhere." Horror said while gesturing at one of the corpses, where at the back of the head was a spell that binds the slave to the master. It's a dick thought to even have, that's what Horror thought as he continued to rummage through the fallen beings.

"magic user? pfft. don't pull that shit on me again, horror."

As if on cue, there was a booby trap activated beside Killer and he barely managed to avoid it.

"that's a cowardly way to play."

And that's when all hell broke loose.

Killer and Horror got jumped by at least four humans, each one of them in their teenage years. The one that emitted the most aura was the one at the very left, he seems to be the oldest in the group.

"Were they originally this strong?" One of them had asked, not believing that they've encountered them.

"No. Novels especially highlight them as being *barely* able to reach their strength as original as in their former AU..."

"what kinda bs y'all spitting? the fuck you mean by 'novels'?" Killer, obviously irritated by the sight of cocky little teenagers in front of them.

"Yeah... and Killer is not supposed to be this strong, right? Horror looks more calmer-"

Without even bothering to wait for the teenagers' response, a gaster blaster suddenly appeared behind them. It had the size of one tall building and it immediately blasted the crap out of the teenagers, a big hole being created on the ground as a result of the destructive blast.

What shocked them was that-

The teenager with the most aura from the left earlier emitted an eeriely similar aura as that of a player with LVL 20.

flashback end.

“So you're telling me, there are… I don't know. Humans out there that managed to beat you up this badly?”

Luckily, their injuries weren't that bad and the other cuts aren't deep. It seems that they'll have to tread carefully from now on, especially the fact that there are other unknown variables that usually don't appear. Normally, of course.

It was quite the sight, to be honest. The two skeletons aren't normally this pissed, of course they had to retreat since they can't afford being wiped out by just four humans.

“We'll need to keep an eye out on them, at least. This is going to be a wild time, I think.” I said while the two finished patching up, and both nodded their head in my direction.
