A Dusty Nightmare (A Continued Nightmare and Dusttale Crossover)

Surviving Robo-Copies

Dust is shown to be inside of his lab, as he is looking at the artificial soul that is present and in the container, as he spoke out to himself.

"Tch, meeting the damn brat inside of the Save Screen is the last thing I wanted. Sometimes the universe just wants me to suffer or somethin'. I don't know."

Dust rubbed his face a little bit, as he looked almost annoyed at what he had to get involved into. And Asriel is certainly not doing any better, seeing Chara for the first time in so long, although he did not reveal it to both Asgore and Toriel. Dust continues to work on the Artificial Soul, as Phantom Papyrus appears next to Dust Sans and spoke out.

"SO...BROTHER. DO YOU KNOW HOW THE SOUL WORKS?"

Dust Sans looked a bit at the computer and the analysis that has been made, as he spoke out.

"The soul, it seems it is synthesized from Gaster's soul when he created it, creating it inside of the CORE. But...whatever sort of energy it was that he didn't know or had used, it became part of the soul itself. I think me using this...it'll make Gaster appear in the physical world if I were to use it. What'll happen to me if I were to use it...not sure."

Dust Sans then goes to the capsule, and opens it before he takes the soul. But he doesn't absorb it, just stores it inside of himself, as he spoke out.

"And what Gaster said it's true, the Soul is growing stronger, even now. Just how strong it'll be when I'm able to finally take the chance to absorb it...might be powerful enough to take on the Highests."

Phantom Papyrus nodded his head, as he than vanished. Dust looks down at the purple soul, as he felt its power slowly rising on its own. He doesn't dare know what will happen if he were to absorb it inside of his body, and hopes he doesn't try to do so until the moment finally happens where he needs to do it. Dust Sans goes up the stairs and gets out of the door that lead to his lab, as he then closes it and locks it up with his key. He then looks around for a tiny bit, before he walked with his hands in his coat pocket. As he did, he then looks and sees Cream and her mother around, as the mother seems constantly protective about Cream, even if she is just a mother from an alternate world and is not the actual one. But even so, they still loved one another all the same. Dust Sans smiled a tiny bit, as he then turned around and looks to see Amy Rose that Sark demonize, together with Sonic, both of whom are smiling and very happy to be with one another. Sans smiled a tiny bit, as he looks at the sight of the both of them, as he then spoke out.

"Well, least Amy's gettin' better. Been gettin' more confident and more braver for herself. Really grew out of that funk."

Dust Sans looks up, as he then decides on something.

"Well...since the demons...at least Exetior's, aren't gonna attack us this time, gonna just simply take the chance to go outside for a little bit."

He then stood still and teleports outside, but before he did, Sonic took notice of him and spoke out.

"Hey, Sans."

Sans stopped and turned around to look at Sonic, who sped towards him.

"What are you up to?"

Sans looks at Sonic and spoke out.

"Gonna teleport to the surface. Gonna see if there is anything that I can find that can allow us to grow out forces and fight against the Highest."

Sonic looks at Sans and spoke out to him.

"Mind if I can come along? Maybe I can be of help for this."

Sans looked at him and spoke out.

"Uh, okay?"

Sans then touches Sonic on the shoulder and snapped his fingers, as the both of them up into the surface of Mobius...which is still demonized and is not a very pleasant sight in any sort of way. Everything was still covered in corpses and blood and guts, and Sonic looked revolted at this, as he spoke out.
