Let Me Save You (Edgy Sequel)

A Miracle

For what would be the last time Underground, Astigma let Flowey ride on his shoulder as he stepped out into the blinding light of the sun. Astigma squinted, shielding his face as he got his first look at... everything. The Surface he always wanted his family to see, his favorite, annoying little brother to grow in. Astigma was in awe, seeing the sun, the sky, the trees, the ocean, and the city. It was so much brighter than what he'd been born to. He hadn't even glimpsed this in the Ruins... "This is it... you made it." Astigma looked at the weed and laughed. "Yeah. No thanks to you." Flowey certainly wasn't a reliable friend, but he was alright in Astigma's books. Just don't drag the little bastard into any life or death situations, and you'll be golden. Flowey laughed nervously. "Just remember... that's a secret... nobody can know who I was..." Astigma waved it off. "Yeah, yeah, you don't wanna cause shit. I know." Astigma sighed and headed back towards the Underground. It was time to let everyone in on his latest magic trick. He hoped he could lie his way through this one.

It didn't actually take you all that long to realize your troublemaker was gone. You grumbled and excused yourself from the council, dragging Papyrus with so he wouldn't cause any damage while you looked for where Astigma disappeared to. You thought it best to leave Sans there for now while Papyrus was still fuming over his little secret. "What Is It? Why Are We Leaving?" Papyrus asked, his tone telling you all you needed to know. He definitely needed a break before he fell back into old patterns. "Astigma snuck off again. We are going to bring him back before the others' notice." You responded to him as you came to a crossroads. "Which way..." Papyrus huffed out a sigh, grumbling under his breath as he tried to determine the direction. Lucky for both of you, Astigma came out of the Barrier room and was heading in your direction. It was showtime. You crossed your arms, expression stern as Astigma rounded the corner and nearly ran into you. "Astigma Sans Serif Gaster." He cringed at the use of his full name, knowing he was in deep shit. "Where The Hell Were You Now?! You Need To Stop Sneaking Off!" Papyrus started to rant.

Astigma clawed for a way to get out of this- of course, he already knew he was gonna get in trouble, hell, he was probably grounded for the rest of eternity for the whole running away thing. But, he did succeed in his goal. The barrier was broken. So he blurted it out. "I BROKE THE BARRIER WITHOUT DYING -" You and Papyrus looked at him skeptically for a minute. "And How Did You Manage That?" Papyrus asked, raising a bonebrow as his hands went to his hips. "Well, Flowey showed me how..." The flower on his shoulder nodded quickly. "I helped him gather the souls a-and, uh..." Astigma cut in quickly. "See for yourselves if you don't believe me! It's quite beautiful out in the sun." Astigma crossed his arms, almost as if he were daring you to prove him wrong. You took a deeeeeep breath to calm your nerves before crouching to his level. Papyrus seemed uncertain of what to do, so he allowed you to take the lead. "I'm assuming you know how dangerous and stupid that was and that your in a ridiculous amount of trouble?" Astigma nodded. "Yeah, I figured." You took another deep breath. "Then let's get the others and show them what miracle you pulled off this time."
