Determination (Charisk) [OUTDATED]

18 - SYSTEM ERROR

[CHARA POV]

We got up and started walking. I looked down.
"Hey Frisk? Why aren't you wearing shoes?" She didn't even look over at me, she just chuckled a bit.
"My shoes melted off when we were running away from Undyne."
"Then why aren't you getting burned?" She looked over at me.
"Please. I lived in an Arizona Scrapyard for the first half of my life, I'm used to climbing on, laying down on, and playing with scrap metal that was baking in the sun for the previous 12 hours. This. This is nothing."
     "Still, even most monsters need special magic to walk around in Hotland."
     "Well I will admit, it is really hot here, but I can't really take off this hoodie, as I got nothing underneath."

[FRISK POV]
     He blushed as I said that.
     "You could wear my shirt, I still have my jacket so.."
     "Fine, take off your shirt and turn around." I made sure there was no one else around. I texted Alphys not to look via the cameras for 30 seconds. All she said was 'On it.' Chara took off his shirt and put his jacket back on. He handed me his black shirt and turned around. I changed with the speed of a falcon and tied my hoodie around my waist. Chara's shirt was pretty big but I bunched it up at the side and tied a knot. Chara turned back around and stared. "Watcha staring at?" He didn't respond right away. "H-hey Chars?"
     "It hurts."
     "What hurts—" there were words in his right eye."Chara! Oh my god, are you okay?"
     "I can't...moove. It hurts so baad." His speech was drawn out and almost garbled. I looked at him. Written backwards in his eye was [ERROR ENo17]. ENo17? What does that mean? He was moving sparratically and sometimes so fast that it didn't even look like he had moved.  He started to cover his eye. His hand was repelled away, like if you held two magnets against each other the wrong way. He covered his eye and started to scream.
     "CHARA!"
     "Dios q-querido, va a e-estallar!" Just as he finished that sentence his eye burst. Black goo sprayed from his eye socket, all the while he was screaming in agony. More goo flew from his mouth like blood.
     "ALPHYS!" Almost as soon as I yelled her name, she came running from around the corner with a stretcher and some medical equipment. Chara was phasing in and out of existence.
     "I-I saw it on the cameras."  She lifted Chara onto the stretcher and rolled shin off as fast as possible. Black goo was pouring from under his hands out of his eye.
     "I know the gist, but what a-actually happened?" It was so hard to speak, I choked on all of my words.
     "The last thing he said was: Dios querido, va a estallar."
     "So his eye b-burst open, what happened before that?" Right, Alphys can understand Spanish.
     "He said that 'it hurt' and he had words in his eye."
     "What words?"
     "Error ENo17" She looked puzzled.
     "Do words normally appear in people's eyes down here?" She shook her head.
"N-no, I don't know why th-this would happen." Suddenly I looked beside me and sans was there.
"sans?" He just shrugged.
"i had a gut feeling something was wrong," he looked over at Chara. "wassup with the kiddo?" Alphys looked over at sans.
"Sans. His eye said system error." sans' smile dropped for the first time since we met about a week ago.
"was there anything else?" Alphys nodded.
"ENo17, but we don't actually know what it means—" Chara was still screaming and holding his eye.
"we won't make it in time, i know a shortcut." And just like that all three were gone.
. . .
Suddenly, behind me the air ripped open, revealing a completely white open space. I was in shock when a black version of sans walked out of the rift. He had 'Errors' just like Chara did in his eye all over his body. He has blue strings streaming from his fingers and eyes. All of his clothes were discolored. His voice sounded almost garbled and drawn out like Chara's voice, only it sounded more like sans'.
"here we are." Shard of the air broke away like glass. But... that isn't possible. That's not how air works. The shards of air turned black, and had similar 'Errors' just like this new, glitchy sans copycat. They all sank into the ground as if they didn't okay the laws of physics. Looking back up at the 'Error-y' sans, I noticed that his smile was completely still. As if it was stuck there.
"What are you talking about? Who are you? What are you doing here?" He scoffed.
     "questions, que-eeeeeeeee-stions. here's the gist-stststststst is that yewwwwww are a dirty glitch. and must be purg be purged." His voice tripped and skipped, sometimes repeating and sometimes rewinding. It was terrifying, to say the least. What did he mean by dirty glitch? He glanced at me, the started looking up and down slowly.  He was checking me out! I felt a light blush appear as I tried to cover myself. I didn't know if he had x-ray vision or something. Before I could say anything, the blue strings from his fingers grabbed me and lifted me up into the air. I've seen enough hentai to know where this was going.
     "H-Hey! Let me go! I have a boyfriend!" He blushed and caught himself for a second before sighing.
     "that's not—" and then Chara flew through the air and kicked him in the face. I was dropped onto the searing hot ground, and Chara and the dark sans engaged in an epic battle. Eventually the mystery 'Error-y' sans threw Chara to the ground beside me. He stood up, short of breath.
     "Why were you attacking my girlfriend? Why do you look like sans? And why do you have the same error all over your body as I had in my eye?" The dark sans sort of freaked out at that last question.
     "Wait, you had—" sans held his hand over his face as errors swelled in his eyes. "That means that this is the origin! Hahahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahahahhabahahahahahahhhahhaahhahahahahahahahahahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh—" Origin? What did he mean by that? His laughing was cut off by huge black tendrils erupting from the ground grabbing him and thrusting him back into the white rift. Me and Chara looked at each other when all of a sudden we were both in Alphys's lab.
