Experimentation: An Underswap Fanfiction

Intimacy

        Temmie kills monsters like stomping ants. No guilt, no second thoughts, no sympathy. Kill after kill, her LV increases more and more. And Sans has to watch her kill every single one. She keeps making smirky remarks, acting like she knows everything about how a certain monster reacts. But no matter what, Sans has no power to stop her. His magic is way too strong. His wails of devastation dwindle down to silent whimpers every time a monster is eliminated. He starts to guilt trip himself.

        "I should've teleported them all, and send them further!" He whispers, loud enough for Temmie to notice. She turns to him quickly and interestedly.

        "wut wAS thaet nOAw?" She says as surrounds a Gyftrot with Temmie Flakes. Sans covers his mouth with his hands. He almost gave away Muffet and everyone else's location!

        "N-nothing!" Sans stutters as he puts his hands behind his back. Temmie gives him a playful smile and skips over to him.

        "O coM on, u caen tEL anithIn 2 ur beste BUd!" She says and she rubs shoulders with Sans.

        "I didn't say-" Sans says as he is abruptly stopped by the sound of the Gyftrot screeching. Temmie has broken one of the Gyftrot's antlers with her Temmie Flakes. The poor creature is in serious pain, but still alive.

        "teLL mi End ill spaRe DIS woRTHLEs creaTR." She threatens. The Gyftrot looks at Sans and grunts helplessly. Sans begins to panic. His mind races as he thinks of a response. He sweats and pants stressfully. Temmie sighs impatiently and finishes off the Gyftrot. The whoosh of the dust seems louder than the others as if its blaming Sans. "Wtv, eye waSnt gonA spare et ANy ways." She shrugs. All of a sudden she darts quickly to the rights as if there's a presence. But nobody came. She runs to left and prepares for a fight. But nobody came. Sans questions this erratic behavior. It just makes this entire situation even more unsettling than it already is. Temmie takes a deep breath and walks behind Sans and pulls him along harshly. "tiMe 2 go 2 WatrfalL!" She says giddily. Sans gasps worriedly. Muffet and the others are there! Temmie acknowledges his nervousness but decides not to question him. She's already done that do him. The Waterfall seems quieter than ever. The only sound heard was the trickling of streams and ponds. Sans and Papyrus loves to go to the Waterfall when they need some alone time. Sans would give anything to have that one last time. Temmie steps into a vast empty room filled with glowing mushrooms. Muffet must've told the Waterfall inhabitants to hide as well. Sans looks left and right to find them. If he could find them before Temmie does he could... Save them? His thoughts are interrupted by a silent giggle and a swish of Temmie's paw. An Aaron drifts away while staring at Temmie in horror. Sans winces uncomfortably. Not all of them got the message. After a few more kills, it begins to rain. The droplets reflect light from the glowing mushrooms and makes them shine mysteriously. Temmie takes a break and sits down and pulls Sans to sit next to him. She stares up at the ceiling rocks that twinkle brightly while Sans tucks his legs in closely, hiding his face in them. He wants his bandana. They sit in silence listening to the rain dripping onto the already muddy ground. Out of nowhere, Temmie asks, "Y didn't u aTTack mi?" Sans jerks his head quickly and gives her a confused look. Temmie picks up a pile of dust from a Wushoa and fiddles with it. "eye BASicaly tortURd u. Y didn't u at LEASt fite baK?" She says spitefully as she chucks the dust away. Sans watches sadly and guiltily. After a few more minutes of silence, Sans answers.

        "No one deserves to be given up on. No one. Everyone can be a good person if they try." He says looking at Temmie kindly. He hasn't given Temmie straight sympathy yet. Maybe it'll make her stop! Maybe this'll work! He has to try. Temmie looks at Sans while thinking hard about something. Sans smiles and closes his eyes happily. "I still believe in you." He cheerfully encourages. This is the first time he's smiled all day. He still feels terrible about everything that Temmie has done, but that doesn't mean he has to give upon her! Ever since he was a child, he's deeply cared about everyone. Including the bullies at school. He managed to find out they had some troubles with their parents and sat and talked with them. He helped them realize that anger wasn't the answer. Ever since that moment, he's never given up on anyone. Especially Papyrus. Sans could tell he's been going through... Something. But Papyrus refuses to tell. So Sans tries to keep his mind off things. Tries to keep him distracted. But I guess he had enough this morning. He's struggling, and Sans is determined to find out why. And from the looks of it, Temmie is struggling with something too. Hate is never the answer. Temmie stares at Sans blankly for a while. She sighs and stands up.

        "iDIOt..." She says disappointedly. She walks briskly forward and Sans is yanked off the ground and forced to follow her. They enter a long hallway full of tall unkept grass. They begin to trudge through it. The grass scratches his legs and arms. He's disappointed from his defeat, but he's the Magnificent Sans! He never fails! Unfortunately, this sudden rush of inspiration is stopped when Sans catches something purple from the corner of his eye. He quickly looks and spots Muffet and the goat child crouching in the tall grass. She looks furious and the child looks scared. Sans knows what she is gonna do. He shakes his hands in refusal but Muffet's expression doesn't change. She's going to attack Temmie and if Alphys can't beat her, no one can! Without thinking, Sans shouts,

        "GUYS, RUN!" In a matter of seconds, Temmie Flakes are summoned and Muffet spins webs. The flakes are deflected by Muffet's web and are flung into the distance. She sends spider minions that crawl creepily towards Temmie. But she stomps them without regret. More webs are shot, Temmie Flakes are created, and the two are battling it out while the goat child hides in terror. Sans wails, "MUFFET! STOP! R-" Swoosh. Muffet stumbles backwards holding her abdomen. She looks down slowly and Sans witnesses her fall to her knees and look up at Sans.

        "I'm... Sorry..." She mumbles as she fades away. Her two bows in her hair float to the ground daintily. Sans reaches out and screams,

        "NO! MUFFET!" More tears begin to form and he darts his eyes to the goat child shaking profusely. Sans points to the side once more and shouts, "GET OUT OF HERE!" His tears fly off his face and fling into the darkness. The goat child nods and quickly stands up. He dashes out of the way of more Temmie Flakes and manages to escape out of the tall grass. Temmie looks into the distance angrily. She digs her claws into the muddy ground.

        "Da rAne wiL mess uP hes trAcks... eye cAEn nevAR kill hIM... But en Dis run, i thoT 4 shure..." She glances at Sans furiously. "u." She says spitefully. Sans shudders. She's more mad than ever.
