Broken Souls

XII

Next chapter!
Here we go.

Sans stood in the barrier room, pet laying next to him, panting from its long trek up to the throne room on its hands and knees. He knew a large mob of monsters waited in the throne room to charge to the surface and wreak havoc upon the humans. Toriel herself stood ahead of them, kneeling in front of the soul canisters. She opened all of them and summoned her soul, and the human souls seemed to circle around it without being told. She pushed all of the souls together into her own, and there was a brilliant flash of light.

Sans watched in awe, and felt a tug on the leash as his pet skittered backwards, terrified at the sudden sound and brightness.

When everything dimmed back down, a strange figure stood between them and the barrier. It had longer horns than Toriel, and wore a thick black, gold, and purple robe bearing the delta rune on it. Power emulated from her. She summoned a fire attack and held it in her hands for a moment, before looking at the barrier. She drew her arm back, and threw the magical fire at the barrier. It made contact with a loud bang, and at first, nothing happened. Then, the barrier seemed to develop a small crack where she'd hit it, before slowly spiderwebbing outwards. The whole thing trembled with a loud rumbling for a moment, before simply crashing down, sounding somewhere between shattering glass and an avalanch rolling down a mountain.

There was no longer anything on the floor or anywhere to show that the barrier had ever been there. Toriel looked out at the surface.

"Sans, it is time. Bring them in here." Her voice was garbled, and though somehow deeper, still sounded female.

The skeleton nodded and pulled his pet up to stand. It followed obediently when he walked, whimpering softly with each step. The two soon reached the throne room.

Monsters were packed into the golden, somehow sunlit room, waiting for orders. The guard was at the front, having been holding the rest back.

"It is done! Our queen has broken the barrier, and it is finally time to get our revenge against those who trapped us here!"

The crowd roared in exuberance and pushed forward as the guard at the front finally moved and let them. The small skeleton at his feet must have gotten stepped on, because it let out a loud whimper.

When the last of the common monsters had left, Sans gave a nod to the guard, who all turned and began running out to the surface together.

"Are you ready, pet?" He asked when the last of the monsters had left.

The wretched monster let out a sob in response, before giving a strangled yelp as he tugged it back to the barrier. The queen was gone, and the huge group of monsters was nowhere to be seen.

The two stayed there for a long time, until a fire seemed to start in a city on the horizon. Machines soon showed up, both on air and land, and tried to fight them. These were no match for toriel's fire. Many small flashes of light dotted the area, presumably monsters taking more and more human souls.

"Can't let them have all the fun, now, can we?"

He tugged on the leash and began sprinting. His pet basically flew in the air behind him as he sped down the mountain and towards the city. When he reached it, he heard screams of terror, and the sound of breaking glass, metal, wood, and bones. Humans were being slaughtered left and right, their souls being harvested like crops, making monsterkind even stronger.

He sent an order into his pet's head, though he said it out loud as well.
"Kill them all."

His pet flinched. Could it really still have morals? Sans wondered. He shocked it, and it yelped. It refused to do anything. He took control of its magic, and summoned a few bones and a giant blaster. He stabbed them into a few humans, and fired the blaster. They dropped like flies, their souls appearing above their corpses.
