Skeletons and Robots (Discontinued due to lack of time)

Chapter 32: Plot

I'm writing. Ain't that great? I know, I know, I'm awesome. -Silver
P.S no more first person POV. I hate it.
----------------------------------------
Something was wrong.
But everything was right.
This confused Neo, which was bad because his system still wasn't correct. For the fifteenth time, he sat up and paced back and forth. Sans lazily watched him, as the news of Asgore's sudden death was quite "something". Sans was brilliant for that plan, Neo had to admit. It fit right in.
Which was why Neo was scared. It was as if... Sans already knew what to do. Neo shook his head (which was now covered in dents) and walked over to Jacin. He petted the blaster, who purred in response to the light touch.
Sans, by now, had noticed Neo's distress, and managed to sit up to watch him pacing. "You okay, buddy Neo! Buddy Neo! Buddy Neo!" Sans said, imitating the incident. Neo harshly laughed, and moved over to the couch where Sans was sitting. "I am serious, Neo. What's going on in the mainframe?" He actually sounded sympathetic. This comforted Neo, and the robot sank into the skeleton's lap. "Something's wrong, Sans. But I can't put my finger on what's up."
"Maybe it's that we haven't moved to the second step?"
"No... Yes? I'm not sure anymore. Ugh, it's a feeling in my soul. I'm not sure how to explain it."
"Maybe it's Mettaton? After all, he was a witness on what happened to Asgore. I didn't expect for him to be there."
This made Neo pause. Feeling in his soul... Mettaton shared a soul with him. What did his brother have planned? This distressed Neo even more. He pulled the small skeleton into a hug, nearly crushing him with the force of the embrace. Sans sank into the hug, and moved his head to Neo's ear. In a light tone, Sans whispered the words Neo didn't want to hear. "It's time to move to step 2."
The plan in which Sans and Neo had both carefully crafted hadn't taken them long to build. Neo had woven intricate and tasteful snakes of details through the main frame of which Sans had spent his time. Sans had a lot of spare time to tell jokes and keep Neo company while he thought, for his part was very easy to come up with. Neo didn't mind his partner's lack of work, however; it let him mold the strategy the way he wanted, without very much argument. It also reminded him of the true Sans inside of the monster by his side; the happy-go-lucky ketchup and pun-loving skeleton he had seen in his first week alive. Somewhere within Sans, there was still that personality. That was the personality that had dragged Neo helplessly into his arms, the one that shoved butterflies deep down into Neo's stomach whenever Neo looked at Sans. But now, the feeling was harder and harder to feel. Once this is over and we are ruling together, he will change back. Neo had told himself many times before earlier. Just carry out the plan. But was being alone with Sans really worth the cost the plan would pay? Asgore was already lost, but more bodies would toll up as the plan proceeded.
    Neo rubbed his temples aggressively, staring down at the fragile slip of blue paper. Frantic and rushed handwriting crowded the small sheet, for the receipt-sized slip was all that Sans could find. Neo had written on it the plan, not that he had needed to. He couldn't forget it, for it was a locked PDF in his cyber storage. He had transcribed it so he could look upon it and know what he had done, or what he would do. The people he would hurt. The almost perfect world he would destroy. Undyne, Alphys, Papyrus, Mettaton, they had been so nice to him. They had trusted him and welcomed him to their family. Did he really want to erase them? They had done so much, just to get nothing. And Frisk, how she had wanted to say with them. She gave up her old family for them. And when Neo was depressed about Sans's close suicide attempt, Alphys built a whole new being just to be his friend. Now, Alphys was held hostage and Nami was on trial for murder and suspected kidnapping. She wasn't supposed to get involved in the plan, she was not expected to step in and try to find them. But she had done it out of loyalty, and now her freedom, too, was at stake. If the plan carried out, she would poof out of existence like the rest of them, except she wouldn't come back. Did Neo really want to erase their personalities and kill Nami for Sans?
Neo gritted his teeth and squinted at the paper, remembering his side of the story. It had been days since his last encounter with any sort of genocidal thought, but the ominous feeling seemed to loom closer every time he remembered it. He glanced over at Sans, who was now scribbling on his piece of crumpled paper. Sans was the only one who knew Neo's feeling, except he had had to watch all that he loved die over and over again. So, naturally, if Sans said he thought it was going to happen again, Neo would believe him. After all, he had seen it all before, so he knew the signs. Only now, it was time to do something about it. With the new reset, they would not have to worry about genocide any longer. Naturally, the memories of the other monsters were small prices to pay compared to entire destruction of their souls that genocide would bring.
"Sans, why can't we just use the army we made to fight the genocide, instead of using it to get the reset?" Neo brightened, cocking his head. Sans shrugged meekly, replying, "I have already tried that, remember? It doesn't work, because genocide can try again any time she likes. You can't beat her forever, as I have died trying. Over and over. And, her name is not Genocide, it is Chara." . Neo pouted and slouched in his chair, inhaling sharply. "Calm down, kid, you'll be a hero. Now, do you want your paper or not? We have letters to write."

STEP ONE: Poison the king.
STEP TWO...

Hoi guys! Sorry for the short chap, I didn't want to give away too much. From now on, most Neo chapters will be short. Good news- Silver wrote most of it, and is willing to help more! She is going to help write where help is needed. Another announcement; I am going to partner with BeneaththeVeil in a new fic! It will be on her account, and it will update every Wednesday. Tomorrow is the first chapter, so be sure to check it out! It is called How to be Human. KIM that I will still work on S+R, Comanche the account, and maybe write more fics in the future with Sil.
