Chapter Text
Sans watched the video. It was the video the Royal Guard always had to watch. “Two genocides in a row from humans.
Both stated to keep monsters from committing genocide.” Sans saw the sicko turn Martlet to dust. Clover may have hesitated, but they still killed a monster who only wanted to protect their population. Killed Asgore with their soul…
Snowdin had too many genocides. Two is ridiculous. Sans disagreed with Toriel's welcome humans policy. Not that every monster welcomed humans, the Royal Guard proved that.
Someone had to protect the innocents of the Underground. Queen be damned! Sans followed a true queen. The Queen who will protect monsters if a human falls, Queen Undyne.
Okay, she wasn't officially Queen. But that didn't matter. She was his Queen, Toriel was way too soft on humans. Naive like his brother.
His brother disagreed with the Royal Guard, he believed in those sickos. They attacked former King Asgore's child for the love of the Underground! Humans can't show compassion for even their own kind…
And Papyrus shows them compassion encouraging Sans to quit his job before he causes a third genocide.
Papyrus was part of Toriel’s equivalent to the Royal Guard, the Peacemakers. What a lame name for a military. Papyrus’ job was to protect humanity and guide them to the right path.
Sans never understood the other side, humans can't show compassion and Papyrus expects to guide the next one who fails mercy? Give him a break… Papyrus is good as dead the next time a human falls.
He knows about determination. He's told Papyrus hoping to talk some sense into him.
Papyrus took that as a challenge. “They repeatedly die Sans, I must show them we aren't like that!”
“Papyrus…”
“Have faith. We can save them! Stop this bloodshed!”
Sans shook his head. “Or be the bloodshed…”
Papyrus would never understand. Humans are dangerous. They need to be killed on sight.
It doesn't help that some people encourage him. Grillby agrees with Papyrus’ stance. Burgerpants and Gerson both agree with Papyrus.
Well sort of for Gerson, he said humans need someone to guide them, but he has his doubts about humans’ inclination for mercy.
Sans agrees with Alphys, Mettaton, and Queen Undyne. Humans need to die on sight. The war must go on. Monsters needed avenged.
His only hope is that another human doesn't fall. Six fell in rapid succession. Though it seems to be taking a long time for the seventh to fall. But he was prepared. When they do they'll be the first soul for Undyne’s plan to break the barrier. He will make sure of it. He wasn't in the Royal Guard for no reason.
