Experimentation: An Underswap Fanfiction

Affliction

        Temmie giggles. "ther u r Sans! Eye was loukin evriwher 4 yu!" Sans begins to breathe heavily again. He doesn't want to show it, but he's terrified. But at least he's giving more time for the others to escape. He glances at Temmie's paw. His eyes widen and a wave of devastation washes over him. He grips the floor.

        "N-no... You... You didn't!" He whimpers. Temmie shrugs.

        "wat wAS I supOSED 2 du? Thaet ovrconFIDENt lIZArd waS getINg en da way! SHe was jusTE an wAste of sPAce anywai." She says smugly. Sans shivers violently. He grabs his head with his hands and hunches down towards the floor.

        "No... No no no no no... Alphys... Alphys!" He yells in desolation. He starts to sob uncontrollably. Temmie lets him cry for a little. She's never seen him cry before. This is a moment she'll never forget. Sans takes short breaths as he cries. He shakes profusely and mumbles Alphys' name over and over. Temmie paces over to him and pats his right arm attempting to "comfort" him, not knowing that arm was the one she injured. He jolts back quickly and glances over at her blankly with streams of tears down his face. His eyes have lost their usual bright aqua glow and became a dim blue.

        "JeezE SAns, wuLD u chill oute a littl?" Temmie says frustratedly as she rolls her eyes. Sans is so mad, he could scream at her. But he keeps it in. He doesn't want to risk anything. Temmie claps her paws together, causing Alphys' dust to float throughout the room. "NoAW lets geAt douwn 2 buSINess." She says straightforwardly. Sans watches the dust spread around the room. Another tear falls down his cheek. He sniffles and wipes his eyes as he whimpers sadly. Temmie looks down at him disappointedly. "eyE REalY didn't caer 4 wat u did earlIAr. U couldve maed dis a lot less pAInful 4 ur self ef u did'nt run." Temmie sighs and detracts her claws a second time. "I caen aLWays reesET." She says as she raises her arm high. Sans doesn't close his eyes this time. He stares right Temmie straight in the eyes without blinking. She is impressed with this, but that isn't stopping her. She swipes swiftly and her claws easily slice through Sans' shirt and ribs. Every bone made a large snap sound as Temmie swiped at them and they shifted downwards causing Sans to feel as if he was being cut in half. After Temmie attacks, Sans could feel his health and energy deplete greatly. He had no energy for him to breathe and his body hurt all over. He tries to take deep breaths, but his throat is extremely dry and it hurt to try. Temmie pauses and waits for the inevitable. Sans knows what was coming. He's waiting to look down and see himself slowly evaporating to dust. He glances at his soul slowly. Somehow, it's still intact and glowing softly. He can see cracks and scratches all over it. But, there's no crack down the middle like he expected. Did he... Survive the attack? He looks up at Temmie who is painted with an amazed look. "wOw, eye usualY CAen kill u en 1 shot..." She says quietly, almost a whisper. Sans coughs and wheezes in despite. He swallows attempting to soothe his dry throat. The two sit there for a while, staring shockingly. After a long while, Sans feels Temmie tapping his shoulder. A green aura of magic spirals around him and the aching was gone. His ribs no longer had a cut down the middle and his soul is back to it's normal white, bright shine. Although, his magic is still no more. He still feels weak and can't stand up if he tried. But she healed him. Sans looks at Temmie depressingly.

        "Why...?" He says under his breath. Temmie raises her arm again.

        "Cuz i'm goin 2 keep attACKIng u ovr en OVeR until eye kil u!" She says matter of factly. She bashes once more, slicing the same spot. Sans grunts and whimpers loudly. He's never felt this enervated before. He's never wanted Papyrus more. But once again, he isn't turning into dust. Temmie heals him once more and attacks again. And again. Heal, attack, heal, attack. She tries attacking with her other paws, other attacks, and other areas on Sans. But he just wouldn't die. Temmie soon grows tired and pants slightly. Her own magic is depleting. She knows exactly why she can't kill him. She hasn't interacted with any other monsters in Snowdin other than Alphys. She's already cleared the ruins and got plenty of EXP from there. But it just wasn't enough. But she isn't going to stop now. Sans barely has the power to speak, but attempts anyway.
