Coloured band-aids. - Asylumtale

Chapter 8

     Gaster's laboratory was very deep in the Underground, where no monsters dared to go because rumours has it that the place was cursed. The three of them arrived after a long walk and stopped at the entrance.

     -Well, here we are. The doors of hell infront of us. -Papyrus said.

     -I really wish we didn't have to go, this place brings me bad memories. -Sans rubbed his eye.

     [We will be fine, I hope. Stay with me, Sans]

     Inside the laboratory everything was darkness and silence, util a deep voice sorounded the place.

     -Well, well well. You brought me my son, human. What an obedient child you are. At first I didn't thought  you would exhange your friend for your mother but here you are. Very interesting. Now I supose you want me to release Toriel, don't you?

     Frisk stared at him, they knew they shouldn't trust Gaster, he was way to sly so they needed to be even more clever.

     [Let me see her first] They signed.

     -What's the rush? She is having a blast in here. 

     [Let me see my mom or there's no deal]

     -The kids nowadays...And what are you gonna do, child? Throw signs at me?

     But Frisk didn't move, he continued looking him directly to the eyes.

     -Fine, wanna see your mother? I can arrange a little family reunion.

     Gaster lifted a lever on the wall and the floor under Frisk feet opened, they fell inside leaving Sans alone with Gaster.

     The skeleton looked at his father with no expression on his face and Gaster smiled.

     -Hello again, son.

     -Father. -Sans greeted. Without his tranquilizers he was more aware of the situation and even his age regression was lowering to his adult self.

     -I see your friend managed to sneak you out the hospital, too bad your freedom lasted just a few minutes. You see, you have amazing magic skills you don't deserve and I crave them, I can't allow  the most powerful monster in the Underground to be my crazy and inpatient son who claims to see his dead brother. No, that would ruin my reputation. I must own your powers, wether you like it or not.

     -Are you willing to lose another son?

     -If that's the price  of greatness, so be it.

     Sans gave slow but confident steps towards him and stopped when he was a little bit closer. 

     -You see father, perhaps you are right and an ill patient shouldn't own such level of powers. But you are wrong about me, I am not crazy...my brother's still with me and he witnessed all your abuse, not only towards me but all your patients. It is time for someone to stop you and we are determined to do it.

     Gaster chuckled. -"We"?

     But split second, next to his brother, Papyrus appeared. Gaster's smile dropped.

     -Yes, "we"... -Papyrus said.

     -Tell me father. -Sans' eye turned blue and after a short pause he continued. -Do you want to have a bad time?
