"What?" Frisk asks.

"Reset," Sans replies, "before it's to late!"

"Sans are you OK?" Frisk asks.

"I can explain in the next one. Just reset, before they hurt you."

"Who?"

"Later!"

"OK! I'm on it!"

Frisk summons the reset button and presses it. There's a moment of awkward silence.

"It didn't work," Frisk explains.

"Cmon' kid," Sans pleads, "stay DETERMINED."

"I am DETERMINED! I'm always DETERMINED!" Frisk replies.

"Oh god, it must be Gaster." Sans replies.

"Who?" Frisk asks.

"My dad," Sans explains, "he fell into the core, but I had a device that ran on DETERMINATION... to power it I killed criminals and took their souls. Starting with that bully at your school. Then, I- I-"

"It's OK Sans," Frisk replies, "I'll just talk to Gaster."

Frisk begins to walk away. Sans grabs their arm. "Frisk," Sans pleads, "you have to kill Gaster."

"I can't do that," Frisk replies, "I'm sure he can be reasoned with. After all, he's your dad. If he won't listen to me, he'll listen to you."

"Frisk please!" Sans yells, "I've hurt so many people. Hundreds are dead because of me. I murdered an innocent monster in cold blood. I just want to reset. I just want this nightmare to be over."

"Sans," Frisk tries to comfort him, "it'll be OK. I promise. I'll save everyone. As soon as I reach Snowdin next time, I'll use my DETERMINATION to revive Gaster. It'll be OK. Listien, we can't worry the others. Let's head to Mettaton's musical as if nothing is wrong. You did remember about that right?"

"Nope!" Sans replies,"but hey I'm kinda a BONE HEAD."

Frisk and Sans snicker.

"Toriel and I are just about to leave. Meet me there. I'll be in the front row. I'll save you a seat."

Toriel walks outside. "Ready to go Frisk?" She asks.

"Yup!" Frisk replies, "see you there Sans!" Toriel and Frisk get in their car.

"You going Sans?" Toriel asks.

"I'll meet you there," Sans replies.

Toriel smiles and drives off. Frisk says in sign language through the window, "it'll be OK. We can still fix this." Sans begins to fell batter, but then Chara soils his good mood.

"You can't help them," Chara grins, "I'm going to take Frisk's soul. Then I'll be free at last!"

"I'd like to see you try," Sans growls.

"I already have a tight grip on your soul," Chara maliciously chuckles, "next time you FIGHT, it's over."

Sans ignores them. They head to the theater. They meet up with Frisk.

"So what's the plan?" Sans asks whispering, "you got anything?"

"No," Frisk replies, "not really. I'll just show him MERCY and work from there."

They get into the theater and the play starts. Only a few minutes later, the lights go out. The room, including the stage, is pitch black.

"So," Gaster laughs from seemingly everywhere,"you thought you could buy time by ignoring me? No, all I need is one more human soul to surpass Frisk, but that's not my only goal. I made a promise to an old friend. You better run Frisk." Frisk's soul turns green.
