Shattered Realities

❌

🇦🇺"Sans, Frisk, and Papyrus (as well as everyone else) find themselves in a difficult position as they need to deal with a glitchy save file and a murderous human soul. After the last reset made by Frisk, at the end of the Genocide run, things start to get strange and different from usual, to Sans' discomfort. A long lost friend comes back from the void and an previous enemy becomes an ally. These and much more start to get to Sans while he is plagued by visions, nightmares and a growing hatred for everything."

- Info about Story in Deviantart Shattered Realities is an AU made by Ink-Mug on Deviantart.

Chapter 1
In the beginning, after multiple Genocide Runs, Sans meets Frisk/Chara at the Last corridor to encounter them. He realized that Frisk looks like "someone who died 27 times in a row." Frisk doesn't respond, but Sans doesn't mind about that. Sans explains that before he kills them, he explains that them killing everyone is not gonna bring them anywhere and he will not let them go pass him to meet Asgore. Sans pleads Frisk to RESET everything and admits that he is tired of fighting and knows frisk is also tired of fighting. Sans doesn't know why he is fighting anymore. Sans still believes that anybody can change, if they just tried.

Frisk start crying and drops their knife. Sans asks if Frisk is alright. Sans heard Frisk say something and asks if they can speak a bit louder. Then, Chara appears, looking quite psychotic, calls Sans an "idiot" and says that "Frisk is not in control," along with calling Sans a "Stupid, dirty skeleton." Sans asks Chara what they have done to Frisk. Chara laughs maniacally and calls it "ridiculous." Chara tells Sans that he (Sans) knows about the resets and are disappointed about Sans not remembering about them.

Chara calls Papyrus (who is dead at the time) "Stupid" and explains that Papyrus believed in them (Chara and Frisk), even after chopping his head off. Sans admits that Papyrus was stubborn and tells Chara that they have three seconds to leave Frisk's body before he takes Chara out himself. But, before he gets to finish explaining, Chara interrupted Sans and says that they don't want any "Violence love" (Most likely known as L.O.V.E. - Level of Violence). Chara does a Sadistic smile and admits that if Sans wants to hurt them, they would have to kill Frisk. Chara makes Frisk grab the knife they used to kill the monsters.

Sans tries to blast Frisk (who is possessed by Chara), which they dodged and tried to slash at Sans with their knife. Sans dodges (teleports away) from the attack and uses his gaster blasters to blast (possessed) Frisk. Sans thought that Frisk was dead, only for Frisk to be sneaking behind Sans and Slash his chest with their knife. Frisk has blood all over them (possibly either due to their injuries or from attacking Sans). Sans collapsed to the floor. Sans thought it was over until he heard a strange voice. The voice tells Sans that he (Sans) can't give up now and tells him to get up. Sans opens his eyes and sees Papyrus (or at least a hallucination of him). Sans denies that Papyrus is alive and believes that Papyrus is dead. Sans just has 0.002 Hp left, but is still bleeding. Sans realized that Frisk/Chara is going to kill Asgore, so Sans take this as an opportunity to try to save him. Sans walks (while covering his wound with his right arm) to the throne room, but it was too late. Chara has killed Asgore. Chara tells Frisk that all the monsters are dead, and said they made it and got "what they wanted".

Frisk is crying. Chara asked if this was their objective (to survive the Underground). Chara congratulates Frisk for their survival (although they made Frisk kill many innocent monsters). Chara gives Frisk the choice to ERASE or not ERASE the world, telling Frisk to erase the world so they (Frisk/Chara) can co to the next. Chara says that together, they would erase the world from existence and says that this is "True Mercy." Sans interrupts Chara and tells them that they aren't the one to decide Frisk's choice. Sans puts his left hand on Frisk's shoulder and greets them (Frisk; not Chara). Frisk is happy that Sans is still alive. Chara gets very angry that Sans is still alive and has enough of him and calls Sans "a dirty monster" and tells Sans to die already. Sans tells Frisk to RESET immediately. Chara lets out an angry scream while trying to get Frisk, which Sans warns Frisk to watch out for Chara. Frisk RESETS.

Chapter 2
Frisk is back at the Ruins and sees Toriel. Frisk comes to hug Toriel and cries (because they are sorry for killing the monsters and have empathy). At Sans' and Papyrus' house, Sans wakes up in his bed (which because of the Reset, he is back to full health and doesn't have the slash on his chest. Sans checks if Papyrus is okay. Papyrus is sleeping in his bed and is unharmed (like the Genocide Run has never happened). Sans sighs in relief. Papyrus then wakes up, but Sans has left. Sans is walking through the Snowdin Forest, wondering if Frisk is angry at him for killing them 27 times from the previous Genocide Route. Sans than sees Frisk. Frisk gives Sans a beautiful red flower (possibly to thank him for helping them stop Chara.

Sans apologizes to Frisk for killing them twenty-seven times in the previous timeline and admits that he didn't knew that Frisk was possessed by Chara, but knows that is wasn't a good excuse for killing Frisk. Sans realized that he was babbling. Frisk forgives Sans' apology and admits that they are sorry for the Genocide Run. Frisk hugs Sans and tells him that everything is going to be okay. Sans brings Frisk to his house. Frisk smiles of happiness. Sans calls Papyrus; This was the time where Sans responded to Papyrus' calls. Papyrus asks Sans where he has been and asked if Sans was okay. Sans tells Papyrus the he was fine and that he brought Frisk with him (who is in a warm, red blanket and is drinking (hot chocolate?). Before Sans could explain more, Papyrus interrupted and was shocked that Sans has Frisk with him.

Sans asks Papyrus to not scream in his (Non-existent) ears. He tries to explain, but Papyrus ignores Sans and asks "WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU BROUGHT A HUMAN HOME?" Sans says that it is complicated to explain and asks Papyrus if he could come home so they can talk about it. Papyrus agrees, but gets interrupted by Undyne. It turned out that Papyrus was getting help with Undyne look for Sans. Sans tried to tell Papyrus to not talk about the human (Frisk), but it was too late. Undyne has already heard about that Sans found a human. They (Undyne and Papyrus) came to Sans and Papyrus' house. Undyne kicked the door open, while Papyrus was exhausted (due to the fact that they ran all the way from Waterfall). Undyne walks toward Frisk as an attempt to capture Frisk, but Sans blocked Undyne from doing so. Undyne commands Sans to step aside from the human, but Sans says that he's "not feeling like that." Frisk was frightened and underneath her blanket was Annoying Dog, who was growling at Undyne. Undyne tries to force Sans out of the way (while summoning blue spears), so Sans tells Frisk to run. Undyne refuses to let Frisk escape, so Sans has to deal this the hard way. Sans told Undyne that he and Frisk made an agreement and are not feeling like fighting or anything like that, plus telling a pun "Guess you'll have to find Salmon else to fight with." Sans teleports away, taking Frisk with him. Undyne gets annoyed of the pun Sans made and due to the fact that Frisk got away with Sans. Undyne demands Papyrus that they got to find Sans (and the Human) immediately. Undyne believes that Sans must've gone to Grillby's.

Undyne was wrong. Sans has actually teleported to his post with frisk and Annoying Dog with him. Frisk thanks Sans for protecting them from Undyne. Sans says that Frisk is welcome, but questions why Frisk is thanking him. Sans thinks that Frisk would have used RESET if they did got killed by Undyne (because Sans doesn't want another RESET, due to it being tiring after a while). Sans felt like he put himself into this mess. Sans believes that Undyne wants to "kick his bony a##" for preventing her from capturing Frisk, and believes that Papyrus is probably mad at him, too. Sans is too tired to deal with this mess. Sans asks if Frisk would play with Annoying Dog for a while (or something Frisk would like to do). Sans decides to take a nap at his post, and tells Frisk to not wake him up unless Undyne appears. Sans also tells Frisk to only RESET if absolutely necessary. Sans was slightly angry at himself for acting like he did with Undyne. Sans still knew that it wasn't Frisk's fault; It was Chara's fault (due to the fact that Chara himself that he was the one controlling Frisk. Despite this, he can't shake the feeling that Frisk's the one to blame for the past Genocide Run. But, Sans knows that it's not going to help just thinking about it, due to the fact that Chara is not there now. Sans wonders why he's the one who has to deal with all that happened and never asked for this mess; Sans believes that Papyrus would do a better job than him. Sans falls asleep.

In his dream, he is falling (while voices called Sans some horrible things; such as: you're an failure, Filthy monster, weak, burden, etc.-these insults were from Chara). One of the voices told Sans that due to to the fact that he couldn't save his own brother is pitiful. Sans doesn't know where he is until he found out that he is at the Last Corridor where he has fought Frisk/Chara at in the previous Genocide Run. He finds Papyrus, who is holding Sans' bloody jacket, crying. Papyrus tries to tell Sans to come back and tries to come to Papyrus, but then finds Chara behind Papyrus. Sans tries to warn Papyrus, but it was too late; Chara stabbed Papyrus on the back, blood spurting everywhere. Papyrus falls forward. Chara was smiling evilly. Sans begs Chara to stop (because he couldn't come to Papyrus due to being blocked by an invisible wall). Papyrus begs Sans to help him, while crying in pain. Sans tries to talk to Papyrus, trying to talk to let him know the he was going to save Papyrus. Chara knows that Sans is here. Chara taunts him due to the fact that Sans thinks that he is so special just because he could remember the timelines and couldn't save his own brother. After a while, Papyrus has turned to dust. After Chara was done taunting Sans, they decided to kill him (Not really, It was just a terrible nightmare). on his back

Sans was back at his house on the sofa with a blue blanket over him. Sans woke up from the nightmare, so frightened that he fell to the floor. Papyrus checks if Sans was okay (Papyrus was wearing a chef's hat, so he was cooking after bringing him home while Sans was sleeping) with Frisk also checking on Sans. Sans asks why the ceiling was spinning (due do dizziness); Papyrus responds that the ceiling wasn't spinning. Sans then says that the walls are spinning around (again, due to dizziness). Papyrus helps Sans up, checking that Sans didn't injure himself from falling of the sofa, which Sans said that it only hurt a little bit. Papyrus heals Sans. Sans thanks Papyrus for helping him (by healing him after hurting himself after falling off the sofa. Sans tells a pun, Saying "Vertebro from now on, 'cause you always have my back." Papyrus gets slightly annoyed, realizing that Sans has made a pun. At the kitchen, Frisk was making pasta sauce (which mean Papyrus was making spaghetti) but jumped when Papyrus yells at Sans for making his pun (like "You're unbelievable, Sans!"), spilling the pasta sauce all over themselves. Sans apologized for his bad pun and asks if he could tell Papyrus something about how he came back home. It was revealed that Papyrus brought Sans home after Sans refused to wake up, because his great "greatness" and kindness knows no limits. Sans and Papyrus looks at Frisk, who is drenched in spaghetti sauce; they were worried. Papyrus helped get some spaghetti sauce off of their face. Sans asks another question (this time, if Papyrus was trying to capture a human not so long ago and why he was acting all friendly toward Frisk (which he referred as a "she") when Sans was sleeping). Frisk says that thier completely passed out.

Papyrus tried to explain why (about how Frisk told him how Sans found them and the Ruins), while saying that the rest was complicated. Papyrus also mentioned that Frisk told him that they had the power to RESET. Before Papyrus finished, Sans interrupted. He was MAD. Sans and Frisk has made a promise not to tell Papyrus, and what did Frisk do? They just "spilled the beans." Papyrus told Sans to stop yelling at Frisk, due to the fact that Frisk was now sobbing. Papyrus mentioned that Frisk was scared, so it wasn't their fault. The skelebros went into an argument with one another (such as when Papyrus mentioned that he was been lied to by Sans, while Sans mentioned he did this to protect Papyrus and that Papyrus has died before. Papyrus then says that Sans did that because Sans doesn't know anything and things would've been different if Sans just told the truth), while Frisk is still crying.

Papyrus then says that all of this had to happen for him to know what was going on, so if it weren't for Sans, Papyrus himself would've been discovered and Papyrus would've still been in the dark. Papyrus says that what hurts him (Papyrus himself) is that Sans couldn't trust  his own brother . Sans realized what he has done. Papyrus knows what Sans has been through, but Papyrus didn't want to get the knowledge that Sans was struggling from another person and that he wanted Sans to tell him. Papyrus admits that it almost seems that Sans takes him for an "naive idiot," but he isn't invalid. Papyrus asks why Sans didn't ask for help and tells Sans that he has and always have been here for him. But before he could explain more, Sans interrupted Papyrus, telling Papyrus that he understands. Sans feels like that is "a freaking liar" and thinks that Papyrus doesn't believe him. But before Papyrus and Frisk tried to stop him from leaving, Sans has already went out the door and left the house without a word. Frisk was sad, still having tears flowing down from their eyes. Papyrus tries to calm down Frisk (with Annoying Dog beside Frisk, trying to comfort them), saying that he promises that he (himself) will make things right again. Frisk believes in Papyrus. However, Frisk has the feeling that in the bottom of their heart that things will get a lot worse.

Chapter 3
After Doggo has left for his safe trip home, who said goodnight to Grillby (or as Doggo calls him, Grillbz), Grillby cleans the counters and is ready to "call it a day" (due to closing time already passing; However, he wonders why Doggo insists to stay after closing hour, which Grillby will be more strict from now on; He was looking for his coat before leaving) until then Sans came inside. Grillby said that Sans was aware that Grillby's (the restaurant) is closed. Sans looked like that he has cried. Grillby asks if Sans was alright, but Sans says that he was fine (which he is obviously lying). Grillby checks if Sans was alright, but Sans said that he was fine again, but in a more strict tone. Grillby says that Sans can trust him because he is Sans' friend and asked him what happened. Sans did a short "heh" then laughed (in a way to try to hide his sadness) and asks "what's the point of telling you?" because he knows that Grillby would forget like last time (and the time before that).

Sans says that it doesn't matter, it didn't then, and it doesn't matter now. Grillby apologized for putting Sans down; Sans apologized as well. Grillby asked Sans if he has eaten today. Sans says no and asks what does that have to do with anything. Grillby promises that he'll fetch Sans something to eat (which are some leftovers), Sans can take some time to calm himself, and afterwards to tell him what happened. Sans likes that plan. Grillby brought Sans a bottle of ketchup. Grillby goes to the storage room to get some stuff, while Sans takes some time to himself. Sans lay his head down on the table and hears a rather strange voice saying, "Excuse me, May I sit with you?" He was annoyed at first, but was shocked when he turned to the figure.

It was WD Gaster himself! Gaster greets Sans and says "Long time, no see... Am I right?" Sans wash shocked that Gaster was still alive. Gaster explains that he was aware the he has been missing for an extended amount of time. Before WD Gaster will explain more, Grillby has came back with a hamburger, some fries, and some ketchup. Grillby was about to explain to Gaster that Grillby's is closed until Sans told Grillby that its okay because Gaster was an old friend of his.

One too many bottles later...

After Sans has told Grillby everything (about the human (Frisk) came to the underground, Frisk was possessed by Chara (who already died) and killed all the monsters, Sans fought them but got defeated, Frisk/Chara tried to ERASE the timeline, Sans intervened and became friends with Frisk, has admitted that Sans hasn't told Grillby because of the RESETS, the argument Sans and Papyrus about him knowing the truth). Sans said that arguing with Papyrus was a bad move (and muttered that he'll have to apologize later). Grillby says that it isn't important right now and asked Gaster how he went into this mess. WD Gaster said that Grillby hasn't changed one bit. Grillby was slightly confused. WD Gaster explained that he was the former scientist who used to work at the Royal Laboratory. Gaster and his followers were the head of the Science Team and were responsible for the task of creating and testing artificial monster SOULs. They had to find a way to populate the Underground and recover the numbers from the loss of the Great War, which Sans was an successful result of said experiment. Sans (along with Papyrus), are one of Gaster's greatest creations. The project was requested by Asgore himself After both Princes (Chara and Asriel) tragically died. Although Gaster didn't like it, he had no other choice. Asgore said that there will be a war.

(Here is some Dialogue) (Backstory Finished)

Sans: wow, G, i... my bad, i... i didn't know.

W.D. Gaster: Well, obviously. However, do you really think that I would waste years of BONE-TIRING research.... By letting your SOUL perish.

Sans: *Realizes that Gaster made a pun then bursting with laughter*

Grillby: Oh no... Please don't tell me that he likes puns too.... *Sigh*

Gaster: *Smirks*

Chapter 4
Back at Sans' and Papyrus' house, Sans and Gaster have returned from Grillby's. Sans was so drunk that he "couldn't walk in a straight line" (According to Gaster), although Sans denies it and tries to demonstrate. This is where Flowey can be seen (which he looks very annoyed). Sans meets Flowey, who is being an craba##. Sans does not like Flowey's attitude and grabs Flowey by the stem (while doing the pun, "that wasn't very n-ice, buddy!" Flowey threatens to tear Sans apart if he doesn't put him down this instant. But, Sans is like "oh, but i would LOVE to see you try, weed." Gaster accidentally calls Sans "Kalam." They went silent for a while.

Gaster realizes his mistake. Gaster tells Sans to put Flowey down. Grillby asks what is Gaster on about. Flowey was relieved that Gaster was here. For some reason, Gaster remembers Flowey as Asriel (even though, Flowey says that he is not Asriel). Grillby has (possibly) heard about the name "Asriel." Sans says that it is a long story about how Asriel became Flowey, but refers for Grillby not to ask about it. Grillby agrees with Sans. Flowey wants to talk to Gaster about Chara; He wants Sans and Gaster to stop them (or what Flowey and everyone else refers them in this AU, him), due to not being able to defeat Chara himself. Sans snorted, thinking that Flowey is asking this as a joke (and due to not trusting Flowey). Flowey has admitted that he has done some things in the past, but says that everything is different now and nothing will matter if Chara manages to do what they (or as referred, he) wants. Sans thinks that Flowey is acting like a chicken and slightly teases him. Flowey gets annoyed at Sans and wants Sans to shut up.

Flowey explains that Chara will destroy their universe if they don't do something about it. Flowey wants to help them stop Chara. Sans believes that Flowey wants to help "himself." Flowey gets really irritated at Sans, but says yes; Flowey says while he himself is at it, he'll might as well save their butts (even though Sans doesn't have a butt, due to being a skeleton). Sans is unsure of that idea, but Gaster think that is fair. however, Gaster tells Flowey to promise not to harm anyone. Flowey agrees (as long while they are working together). Flowey said that he wouldn't do something like that (despite of attempting to kill Frisk; Which is not shown in the Comic), especially now. Flowey knows what they are capable of. Gaster was proud of reaching up to an agreement.Grillby was pleased that they all are going to work together. They decided to go to Sans and Papyrus' house to get warm. Gaster says to Flowey, Grillby and Sans not mind recalling some stories they have.

Back at Sans and Papyrus' house, Papyrus was sad, looking at the spaghetti (that has meatball, but no sauce due to Frisk accidentally spilling it all over themself (or as referred to, herself). It was late and Papyrus was tired of waiting for him. Papyrus was about to go outside to look for Sans, but Frisk tells him not to go due to Frisk worrying about him. Papyrus understands their (or her) worries, but he was worried about Sans. Papyrus was worried about if Sans ran into Chara, who Frisk has mentioned while Sans and the others were gone. Papyrus opens the door and sees Grillby, Gaster, and Sans here. Papyrus was happy that Sans was back and said that he was so worried about him. Papyrus heard that Chara is out there. Papyrus was about apologize for the argument they had (on Chapter 2), but Sans said that Papyrus was right all along and apologized to Papyrus (he didn't mean to get angry at Papyrus like that. Papyrus tells Sans to not hide things like that ever again. Sans agrees. Papyrus becomes excited when meeting Gaster (due to the fact that Gaster is a skeleton and has never seen other skeletons, aside from himself and his brother. Gaster introduces Papyrus to himself and is pleased to meet him again. Despite this, Papyrus still doesn't remember him, which isn't a surprise (due to Papyrus being a young BabyBones at the time). They do a hand-shake as a greeting. Papyrus guessed that Gaster is Sans' friend; He wasn't wrong.

Sans has never mentioned Gaster to Papyrus. Papyrus allows Grillby, Flowey, Sans and Gaster to come inside. Papyrus also invites them for dinner (which is leftover Spaghetti) so Gaster can introduce himself (or as Papyrus calls him, "Mr. Dings", which he rather be referred as to "Gaster"). Papyrus remembers the name "Gaster." Grillby and Gaster politely says no, but thanks Papyrus for the offer. Gaster is tired and not hungry. Papyrus has rearranged rooms for Gaster and Grillby to sleep at (which is in Sans' room); Gaster appreciates that. Papyrus asks Sans if his room has been cleaned, which Sans responds with "maybe." Gaster was quiet for a little but, while Grillby decides to go outside. Grillby asks to make sure to help Flowey inside; after that, Grillby will give them their privacy. Gaster greets Frisk (which he remembers them from the backstory (which was talked about on Chapter 3. However Frisk was slightly different when they met, due to chara being in their body at the time). The rest of the story cannot be told as the Auther has confirmed that they'll not continue the Comic.
