Therefore, You and Me

Chapter 1

Here the Destroyer stood. In the desolate lands of the current au he was killing off, Flowerfell Copy-125. Here he stood in the Judgement Hall with the Sans of this world, taking their respective places of 'Killer' and 'Judge.' The Destroyer was silent before the Sans, still with an air of despondence engulfing him.

They stood for a few tense, long moments watching, observing one another. The dark skeleton's black and guarded, the other's searching and almost resigned. At the god's side chipped fingers stretched, just as he prepared to finish off this one-

* You felt your sins crawling on your back.

"Heya." He froze

"You've been busy, huh." A slight yet sharp pang in his SOUL. "Guess that means 'm the only one left then, right?"

* You're already having a bad time.

Narrowing his mixed eye sockets, he spoke, "aRe yo-Ou gOInG tO K-K-kiCk up A fUss lIKe ThE oThErs?" "Eh, what would be the point? There's nothin' left for me to fight for. You personally made sure of that." The glitch winced a slight at those blunt words, though it went unnoticed by both. "Actually," the fell continued, "I now feel as though I should be thankin' ya instead." huh? thanking ME? Error stared at him, perplexed. "..wHy?" was all he asked. The Sans gave out a laugh, surprisingly light for the situation he was in right now- though Error shouldn't be too surprised as even if this was a Flowerfell Sans, the 'Fell' part still a prominent part of this au. The smaller skeleton took a second to answer, rubbing the back of his head almost sheepishly. "I.. had the chance to CHECK out your SOUL there." What "After ya killed my... I wanted to know who, or well what, I'd be goin' up against and lemme tell ya, pal, that you're all kinds a fucked up." he whistled. Thanks, I know. "And your STATs! Absolutely haunting." "gEt TO The pOInT!" Error snapped, his patience having already run thin from the beginning of his 'mission.' *F-Fell just casually threw his hands up in a mock surrender. "Sorry, sorry. It's just that it all was just a real big eye-opener." He said as he tapped on the scar/crack sprouting from his eye.

"Here, catch."

On instinct, the glitch's arm shot out to catch the thrown mystery item, opening his hand revealed.. The SAVE necklace. Error looked back at the Sans, a brow raised in question. "That there is your first- and hopefully not last- compensation and gratitude for your service to this seemingly stuffed Multiverse. Think of it as a.. uh- an offer! Yeah, an offering. Especially since your power and status is godly." The bastard even fucking winked with that one. Wait- "OfFEriNg?" "Yeah! An' in a way.. it's a thanks in an odd way. So as a final dying request, from a mere mortal to the Merciful God, give me the chance to join my loved ones. Let me see my sweetheart again!" The lighter skeleton begged, the last part being choked out. Error just looked over the other's tense form, the conviction in him- the honesty. When the weird sans began on his spiel, Error had thought that he was mocking him but that look in his eyes- full of a deep longing and for a need to rest. A look that the taller was intimately familiar with, and who was he to deny the other.

"I wILL GranT yOu thIS sMAlL ACT of MERCY."

"Alright, let's do it then." Error nods, summoning his strings. Raising his hand, in mere moments notice the strings completely envelope the SOUL of the Flowerfell Sans-

"Thank you."

-shattering it to pieces. All being left now is dust blowing aimlessly in the wind.

"mAy You REUnIte wITH LoST lOVeD oNEs iN ThE aFTeRliFe."

With that- a surprising single, lone unseen tear trailed off the powerful, yet broken, being's damaged face. The tear itself being the only evidence left behind as any proof he was ever there to begin with as he opened and passed through a portal, finalizing the fate of the au by closing it right after. The last moments being the desolate and empty world falling, crumbling, collapsing to its end.
