Undertale: Guardian vs Fear

Mentor vs Student...with help

I turn around and three Gaster blasters form when I face Sans. He matches me in his own blasters and fires them at me, before using his bones at the same time. I teleport away and fire my blasters at him as he teleports and our battle gets started. We both disappear and reappear, launching attack after attack before he seems to be slightly tired. That changes when I feel a bone go through my leg and I freeze. I got careless, and he hit me.

"Huh, better luck next time, buddy." Sans says.

He summons and fires a Gaster blaster at me, and Somer gets in front of me. "Somer! No!"

I notice that she didn't have time to put up her shield, but was protected by a separate Gaster blaster. Not one of mine or Sans. "Gaster, you think you're gonna stop me?"

"No, I don't have the self control or the capability of facing against you, my son." Gaster says as he makes the blaster disappear. "But you won't be harming these two anytime soon."

I look down to see the blue bone disappear and I pull Somer back away from the skeletons. I see Papyrus facing Sans now and appear like they'll face off. "Should we worry about them?" Somer asks behind me.

"Papyrus and Sans?" I ask back. "No, I'm just debating if I should help out or not."

"Branden, you haven't recovered from your fight with Asriel." Gaster says. "You need to rest a moment."

"Don't say bone-voyage just yet, G." I say as I watch as the skele-bros are fighting. "I'm just looking for...there!" Suddenly I pull Sans' Soul from him, as he's distracted by his brother. "Somer." I turn to her as she immediately starts to heal his corrupted Soul. But nothing is happening. "Damn, this is hard."

"Why isn't it working?!" Somer asks, sounding flustered.

"Sorry, Sans." I say as I take a tight grip of his Souls and squeeze slightly harder, causing it to crack slightly, before looking at Somer. "Try now."

"Okay." She says and goes to heal the Soul, as I feel a bone hit me in the back. I grit my teeth as the Soul starts to heal. "This is incredibly easy."

I nod. "Yeah, well I did the hard part." I say through gritted teeth. "He only has an SP of 1."

"Done." Somer says and I glance back over my shoulder. I see Sans preparing a Gaster blaster to shoot at me, so I turn his Soul blue. "What are you going to do?"

"I can't risk getting to close and him blasting me with his Soul." I say. "So I'll have to do something else." I turn and launch the Soul at Sans' chest. He isn't ready, so I hit the small skeleton in the chest, and he stops moving. I take a few breaths before he turns to Papyrus and says his name in total shock. The two embrace, and Gaster smiles. "Gaster." I say. He turns to me and I push him towards the brothers. "Go be with your family. Be the father they need."

He smiles at me, then goes to the skeletons and embraces them. "That's a sweet moment." Somer says, standing next to me. "But why haven't we seen that kid?"

"She probably was hoping that this would stop us, or at least slow us down." I say and sigh. "Just makes me wonder why."

"There's more coming, isn't there?" Somer asks me and I nod. "Great..."

"Just be prepared for anything." I say as my phone starts to ring. I recognize the ringtone, so I answer the phone. "Hello, Mettaton."

"You know Mettaton?" Somer asks but I turn to ignore her.

"What was that?" I ask.

"I said, is it true about Alphys?" Mettaton asks in a robotic voice, but even so, you can hear the emotion coming from him. "Has Alphys..."

I look down. "I'm sorry, Mettaton, but yes." I sigh. "Alphys has past."

"Oh my." Mettaton says, almost as if he's holding back tears. "I need to get back to..."

He doesn't finish as I hear alarms blaring in the background. "Mettaton, what's going on over there?!"

"Stacy, go to my office and grab my briefcase off my desk!" I hear his voice say. "It'll say NEO, on the cover."

"Oh no." I hang up the phone and look in the direction of Mettaton's building. He's a big star up here now, so he has his own building to broadcast his shows from, but I would assume he's using it to protect as many people that he can. "Somer, how adamant are you to help me?"

"You won't go anywhere without me." She answers. "Why?"

"Take my hand." I say and hold out my left hand to her. She doesn't even flinch at taking my hand, before I turn to see Toriel and the others coming towards us. "Mom, you and Dad need to go to Mettaton's studio building. Somethings wrong, and I get the feeling that I might need some help if I'm fighting the three girls."

"We'll be there as soon as we can." Asgore says and that makes me feel some relief. "Branden, please bring back our children."

I nod and teleport inside the building of Mettaton's building. "We need to find the large stadium."

"Why?" Somer asks me.

"Mettaton always draws a crowd." I answer and we start down the corridors. "Let's just hope we aren't too late!"
