Chapter Text
The Dust Time Trio team was having a nice game of poker. And when I meant nice game, I meant... well...
* Aha! A Straight Flush! Take that, suckers! Give me my money! Hard Mode Dust declares, with both Last and Flawless Genocide groaning. However, the Obsessed Monster had a shit-eating grin on his stomach.
* How about "no," HMD? OM asks as he reveals the best card hand in the game. A Royal Flush.
HMD looked at the Sans who absorbed multiple human souls in shock before groaning, * Well played.
However, a bright light engulfs the strongest Sans on their team as he disappears.
* ...so, can we...? LG asks.
* OM will kill us if we cheat. FG says to his female counterpart.
──────────────
The bright light shines across the room again, as OM appears with multiple burns and gunshots on his body.
* What happened to you? LG asked as she and FG were lazing around.
* I was forced to battle another version of us with four human girls with guns by an AI girl and a giant masked dude. OM explains as he coughs. * They somehow beat me.
* Hey, guys, I'm back. So... whoa! What happened to you?! HMD shouts, returning from helping AP and HMI with their whole problem.
OM sighs in annoyance.
──────────────
* wow, i can't believe OBSESSED MONSTER was beaten by a version of us with girls with guns. Horror says as Killer, Murder, and himself drink in the abandoned bar of Grillby.
* I could hardly believe what FG told me if OM hadn't shown up covered with bullets. Murder says before noticing Killer. * What's up?
* how about we pay that world a visit? She suggests with a grin of her own.
* hm... murder? Horror asks his leader.
* why not? Murder says as he takes out a phone to call someone. * Yo, Insanity. How much are you interested in fighting girls with guns?
──────────────
Sans was chilling back at his hotdog restaurant. It was a bit of a slow day, but that meant more time to sleep.
"Huh?" He hears Hoshino says. Sans looks up for a shock.
In front of him was a skeleton that had his face. His jacket was more gray and seemed to be covered in dust. On his left was a red and blue magic eye emitting a purple glow. On his right was a simpler red magic eye.
He gives Sans a note before turning his back, shortcutting away.
What note said? Bring him and his friends to this location.
* hoshino, did you see me come in the front door? Sans asks.
"Y-Yeah?" Hoshino answers.
──────────────
"Are you sure it wasn't a hallucination?" Shiroko asks.
* no, i'm pretty sure hoshino also saw him.
"I thought I was dreaming..." Hoshino says.
"Why in the hell would he call us here?" Serika demanded.
* dunno, but i don't like it. Sans admits.
"Heads up, everyone! Three powerful energy signatures approaching!" Ayane calls out.
* So, you all actually came?
The Abydos Foreclosure Task Force looked in front of them to see not one, but three skeletons with an uncanny similarity to Sans.
Other than the one Sans and Hoshino saw, one of the skeletons was wearing a fresher blue jacket with a fluffy hoodie, carrying a knife, as blue liquid streamed down their eyes and their soul was a red target. The other was wearing a paler blue jacket with a fluffier hooding, with a giant crack in his skull, as he carried a machete.
"Who are you?" Shiroko demanded.
"You look like, Mr. Sans," Nonomi says.
* isn't it obvious? The black-teared Sans in a surprising feminine voice says.
* we're him. The cracked skeleton says.
* And we heard you beat a Sans with god-like powers, with his many human souls. The hooded one explains.
"Human souls?" Ayane asks.
"Sans, what are they talking about?" Hoshino asks her friend.
* remember that four-eyed monster that looked like me?
Everyone in the task force nodded. Phrenapates and Plana had somehow summoned a freak resembling their friend while Kuroko at the time fought Shiroko.
* i think he was from a timeline of my world. Sans explains, cringing at the fact.
The Abydos Task Force paled. If Kuroko was Shiroko from a dark timeline, was the beast they thought they had beaten really Sans from another?
"That means..." Shiroko says.
"And they are..." Serika panics.
* are they really the people who beat Obsessed Monster? The cracked one says to his allies.
* agreed. they don't look so tough to me. The feminine Sans says.
* Doesn't matter what we think. We'll find out soon enough. The hooded one says as he summons more Gaster Blasters.
* watch out! here they come! Sans says.
──────────────
* *huff* *huff* You really are as strong as we thought. The hooded Sans says. * Killer? Horror?
* i'm still in this. The black-teared Sans replies.
* you can't kill something already dead. The hole in the skull Sans growls at the Task Force.
"Already dead...?" Nonomi asks, tilting her head, confused.
* Horror. Take a break. The hooded one says.
* but... the cracked one rejects.
* You'll get your chance soon.
The cracked skull Sans sighs and teleports away.
"Great, a zombie skeleton. What could be worse than that?" Serika snarks in disbelief and disgust.
* Look up. The dusty Sans says.
Sans and his friends do so before seeing something falling.
"Look out!" Serika shouts.
The Task Force jumps out of the way, as something crash-lands on the ground, as sand blows in every direction.
* So, you're the people crazy enough to face a god?! A crazy voice that matches Sans' laughs.
It reveals yet another Sans with scars on his head, wearing a wicked and insane smile. But that wasn't the worst of him.
* is that...? Sans asks, horrified.
The Sans in front of him was carrying Papyrus' skull, missing his lower jaw, covered in blood.
* Aw, what's wrong? Don't like my brother here? The skeleton laughs as he spins the Papyrus head before it looks at Sans with tears. * Are you scared? Disgusted, perhaps?
* ...angry.
Sans looks at the crazed madman version of him with rage. Papyrus was his brother. The kindest, sweetest person with the shiny gold of hearts, yet this variant of him, just ripped off his head and didn't even kill him, leaving his brother in a state of pure suffering.
* i won't let you get away with it! hoshino, shiroko, serika, ayane, nonomi!
The rest of the Abydos Foreclosure Task Force joined him by his side.
* this will be your judgment, you dirty brother killer.
* Then come face us... Murder says as he and the rest of the Murder Time Quartet stand side-by-side. * ...if you dare.
──────────────
After a long grueling battle, the Sans and the girls with guns somehow came out on top.
* Heheheheheheheh. Murder laughs as he forces himself from his many bullet wounds.
"Huh?" The wolf girl sounded, seemingly confused.
Soon, the other two Sanses laugh.
The gun girls clench their weapons.
"They're... laughing?" The blonde girl asks.
* They really have as in a corner, huh?! Insanity chuckles.
* i think they deserve a reward, don't you think? Killer asks.
"What are they planning?" A hologram of a girl with glasses asks.
"...."
"How can they keep going?!" The cat girl shouts.
"Doesn't matter. We'll take any secret weapon they throw at us," The pink-haired girl replies.
* Really?! Murder asks with a smirk on his face. * Even THIS?!
Their opponents got ready as they charged with power, only for the two Sanses other than Murder to fade to dust, leaving only their souls as they approached him. Murder's soul appears as the three others collide, merging them into one. Murder roars as the dust of his comrades enters him, changing his own body.
Sans and the Task Force looked in horror as two arms popped out of the Sans' back, grabbing the Papyrus skull and a red knife. The Sans' eyes glowed a bright red.
* that's... not possible... Sans says in fear.
* Horror! The merged Sans barked.
* why couldn't I fuse with you three? Horror asks, dejected.
* I needed someone to have my back at all times. After all, it's two against six is better than one against six. Plus, aren't you immortal?
* ...fair point. let's get this over with. Horror says.
* This battle will decide the victor!
──────────────
Last Breath was reviewing everyone in the H.E.A.D Hunters in the AGTA. Now he needed to check on...
* Yo, LB.
* ah, murder. i was looking for... what the hell?!
The Murder Time Quartet arrived at HQ covered with bullet holes.
* did you three track down some serious genocide players?!
* Nah. Murder denies it as the rest of the MTT laugh. * We challenged another version of us along with girls with guns by his side.
What?
* a variant of us with girls with guns? LB says as he pinches his nose. * why?!
* We wanted to know how they beat Obsessed Monster. Besides, that Sans had some kind of... mysterious power.
LB looks at him with disbelieving eyes. He brings out his phone.
* OM, did you get beaten by girls with guns and a variant of us with mysterious powers?
* [How the hell do you know about that?!] The power-hungry madman shouts.
* the murder time trio challenged them.
* [...FG, where the hell are you?!]
──────────────
* don't let it get away! LB shouts as the Former Time Trio chases the genocide player across time and space.
Soon, he finds himself at a building of some kind.
* HMM? Insanity's Papyrus head sounds.
* Hey, look over there! Insanity shouts as he and the others look out of the glass windows to find a beautiful city underneath.
* Why does this all look so familiar...?
A giant explosion was heard from the distance, interrupting Murder. The Former Trio Trio nodded as they went to see the commotion.
In front of them was a Sans wearing a uniform shirt and tie, with sneakers replacing slippers. And on the other side, the player they were chasing.
The player went for another swing, only for Murder to block the knife with his trident and smack it away. The genocidal freak growls before Insanity drop-kicks it with enough force to send them across the hallway.
* you two?! and you... The Sans shouts as he looks at the Former Time Trio.
* Hey, look! It's that Sans who's friends with those gun girls! Insanity laughs.
* Oh, so that's why I had deja vu here... Murder says.
* so you're the guy who somehow beat obsessed monster. let us deal with this if you value your life. LB says.
* what?! no! that thing killed my friends! i didn't chase it across kivotos to just give up!
* Oh... revenge. I respect that. Murder nods.
* Hahahahaha! Welcome to the team! Insanity says.
* are we really...? alright fine. he can join us. LB sighs.
* um...
"I can't believe you three chased me all the way here!"
The four Sanses turn to see an angry human covered in black tar with red eyes.
* you really thought we would've let you cause more problems? LB asks as Murder, Insanity, and the new Sans stand by his side.
"Like you are any better as you order two murderers like me!" The human gloats.
* Never. Compare me to you, freak. Murder says.
* And so what? You're the one who's going to die today! Insanity laughs.
"Then bring it, smiley trashbags. I got enough LV to deal with you all!"
* here it comes! The native Sans shouts.
──────────────
The fight was a losing one. All four Sanses. Tired, and beaten, they could barely stand.
* ...Damn it... The hooded Sans said.
* ...We're so dead now! The crazy one laughs in acceptance.
* no...i can't... let them all down... Sans says as he pushes himself more.
* ...screw it. murder! insanity! do it! The scarred Sans shouts
* You should HE could handle it? The hooded one said, pointing to Sans.
* ...me? Sans asks.
* Can't hurt to find out! The crazy one suggests.
Suddenly, the three Sanses around him turned into souls, just like the murder team he faced. Were they going to...?
Their souls enter him as he could hear their voices.
* we're giving you our power.
* Don't let your friends die in vain.
* Give that human hell for us!
Sans felt his body changing as two arms, with sleeves from his hoodie, popped from his back. He looks at himself as he emits great power.
This was scientifically impossible, but he guessed miracles do come true.
* ...guess i get once last shot against you. Sans says. * human... no... PLAYER... your judgment has been decided from the start. THIS is your final verdict.
──────────────
* so, i guess this is it. Sans, controlling their fusion Ākaibu, says to his new teammates, who were in half Lost Souls.
* you did great for your first time with a sans-only team. The normal-looking Sans chuckles.
* If you had that much power while you fought us, we'd be dead twice over. The hooded killer remarks.
* AHAHAHAHA! Wouldn't stop me! The crazy Sans laughs.
* not everyone is as crazy as you, insanity. the normal one says. * by the way, what do we call you, since all of us are sans?
Sans thought about it. It does explain the words that the team of killer hims shout. But what would be a good code name...?
* aoharu.
* hm...?
* call me "aoharu."
* "blue spring." huh. not bad. well, my name's last breath. those two are...
* murder and insanity?
* How do you know?! The one he assumes is Insanity shouts with glee.
* it's hard to forget what you and your murder team called each other.
* Oh... The hooded one he guessed was Murder says.
* anyway, it's nice to meet you. The Sans called Last Breath says as he extends an arm.
Sans... Aoharu accepts it, only...
*Pfffffffffffffftttttt!*
That surprised Aoharu, as Last Breath chuckles, showing what was in his hand.
* the old whoopee-cushion-in-the-hand trick...
* It's always funny! The other Sanses join in.
The four Sanses laugh together.
* Wait, what do we do now? Murder asks
* oh. leave that to me. Aoharu says as he snaps his fingers.
──────────────
Sans was chilling with his friends as Abydos High School was one step closer to repaying their debt.
Suddenly, something that looked like Wing Dings saying "We need help" rapidly was seen in the distance.
* huh? Sans says as he notices it. Isn't that...
What followed up was a massive explosion across Abydos was seen from miles away.
"What's going on?!" Serika shouts as the ramen stand she works at is near that area.
"Wait, where's Sans?" Shiroko asks as Sans is nowhere to be seen.
──────────────
* i'd hoped i didn't have to see you all again. Aoharu sighs.
* Yeah, sorry about this. Don't know how we got here again. Murder apologizes.
* Are we going kill them, or...? Insanity points to the Frisk they were fighting.
* he's right. let's get straight to the point. gentlemen? LB says.
* Oh yeah!
* Let's do this.
* ready when...
"Hey!"
Aoharu sweatdrops as he turns around to see the Abydos Foreclosure Task Force behind him.
"Were you really going to fight without us?!" Serika shouts, annoyed.
"That's really naughty of you, Mr. Sans. ♪" Nonomi comments.
* Hey, look! It's those human girls with guns who beat us up, Murder! Insanity exclaims as Murder sighs.
* uh... hey, guys... Aoharu chuckles.
"Sans, you know we are a team, right? We stick together," Shiroko says.
"Heehee... I wouldn't want my adorable junior to do things all by himself," Hoshino says.
* Adorable junior? Murder asks as he raises a brow.
* shut up, murder. LB? Aoharu asks.
* why not? besides, the gatling gun girl reminds me too much of toriel, anyway. LB answers as Aoharu and Murder agree.
"Incoming, everyone! The Player is approaching!" Ayane shouts.
* fight with your last breath.
"Get ready."
* You should have turned back.
"Prepare to be punished. ☆"
* THIS is going to be fun!
"Are we really fighting with them?!"
"This is the end of the line."
* kids like you...
* Should be burning in hell.
──────────────
"Hey! Where did they go?!" Serika shouts.
* don't know but- agh! LB shouts as he coughs up blood.
"Are you alright?!" Ayane shouts.
* i'm fine. just a little blood...
"No! That is not 'just a little blood!'" Serika counters.
"We need to bring him to the infirmary," Shiroko says.
* i'm fine! really! LB tries to reassure the girls.
"You're just as stubborn as the Sans we know. ☆" Nonomi comments.
* i'd listen if i were you. and everything's getting dark... Aoharu says before collapsing on his back, unconscious.
"And there goes our Sans..." Hoshino chuckles.
* LB, just let me and Insanity call the others and take a break. Murder sighs.
* i'm not going to...
LB didn't get the chance to answer as Insanity punches in the face, knocking him out. The Abydos Task Force looked at the crazy skeleton as Murder raises a brow.
* What?! Someone had to knock him out before he ran away! You're welcome!
"Is he okay?" Nonomi asks, worried.
* LB? Absolutely. Insanity? Absolutely not. Murder answers as he makes a call. * Killer. Horror. Plan B.
──────────────
Frisk was running for their life. They wanted to play with the lives of monsters some more until those Sanses showed up and ruined everything for them. Now they're in some kind of city.
"Hey, who's over there?" A civilian asks.
Frisk smirks. Free EXP? Don't mind if they do.
They pounce at the civilian with their knife, only to be shot by the hand from afar.
Suddenly, a lady with long white hair and wolf ears comes out from the smoke, glaring at the human.
"Get to somewhere safe, sir."
The civilian nod as they flee the scene. How dare she get in their way?
"You made a mistake entering Abydos," The lady says as she points her gun at the child.
Frisk, destroyer of timelines, smiles wickedly. More EXP for them. Before they can attack, a machete is thrown, chopping their arm off. Frisk howls as a knife impales their stomach. They meet their end as a trident decapitates them.
"Sans?" Kuroko, formerly Shiroko Terror, says.
* Not the one you know. The hooded Sans says. * But our goals do align.
Kuroko frowns. There were two skeletons behind him. One with black liquid streaming for the eye sockets, and one with a massive hole on their skull.
"Who are you?" Kuroko demanded.
* The Murder Time Trio, at your service. And their demise. The hooded one answers as the child returns from a star, pissed.
Kuroko turns her attention to Frisk. She'll get her answers after she deals with the threat. And if the skeletons want to help, who is she to stop them?
──────────────
* ah! LB says as he wakes up. He finds himself at an infirmary of sorts.
* good morning. His own voice said. LB turns around to see Aoharu lying on the bed next to him.
"I see you two are awake."
LB sees a black-haired human male in front of him, with a smile on his face.
* yo, sensei. Aoharu says. * that's LB.
"Hello, LB," The human says. "I'm Sensei. I'm glad to see you two alright."
Last Breath doesn't know why, but... for some reason, he can't help but be comforted.
* please, i survived worse. being shot in the chest is the least of my problems. LB shrugs off.
* seriously? Aoharu asks.
"That... can't be healthy," The Sensei points out.
* it's not, but when you fight countless genocidal toddlers and refuse to die, you kinda lose any sense of self-preservation.
Suddenly, the room bursts open as the girls from before enter.
"Sans! Are you alright?!" The cat-eared girl shouts.
* i'm fine, serika. Aoharu says.
"I'm glad," The wolf-eared girl says.
"So, what's your name, friend?" The sleepy pink-haired girl asks.
* what? is not obvious, or is it nonsans that i'm the same guy as my humerus pal over there.
Both Sanses laugh with the pink-haired girl as the blonde and wolf-eared girls smirk and the cat-eared and glasses-wearing girls sigh.
* in all seriousness, though, call me LB or last breath.
"I'm Hoshino."
"Serika."
"I'm Nonomi! ♪"
"Shiroko."
"I'm Ayane."
Someone knocks on the front door and a tall, silver-haired lady steps into the room.
* yo, kuroko. how did you know i was here?
"They told me," The lady, Kuroko, says as the Murder Time Quartet enters with her.
* In my defense, she did threaten us after we took care of that Frisk together. Murder shrugs.
* it was still fun, though! Killer chuckles.
* I agree! Insanity laughs.
* now I'm hungry. Horror says.
* don't worry! i know a good ramen stand. Aoharu says.
"Wait, what?!" Serika shrieks.
* sounds good! Horror exclaims.
* I could eat. Killer says.
"Let's celebrate our victory! ☆" Nonomi declares.
"Sensei's paying," Hoshino says.
"My credit card..." Sensei groans.
Insanity was just giggling to himself.
"Kuroko?" Shiroko asks.
"I'll come with you," Kuroko says with a nostalgic smile.
"I want to join," Ayane says.
Everybody looks at the plain-looking Sans.
* what do you say, LB? Aoharu asks.
LB sighs.
* screw it. why the hell not? LB shrugs.
Everyone cheers.
