(~Killer's POV~)

Y/N whines, "Sans, I really don't like the look of this thing." She stares at the DT extractor, I can sense all of her anxiety from here.

I step away from her wheelchair to check the condition of the large invention. It's got dents and large claw marks in it's skull-like shape.

'Definitely not what it looked like when I last saw it...'

Thankfully, this didn't do much damage to the exterior. It was planned and built to withstand powerful amounts of energy, determination obviously, and possibly as much as a small explosion. I have a feeling the damage was Chara's doing, or that creature of her's. They were trying to get rid of the one fault in her plan.

All of the large power cables seemed to still be intact. "Sans.." I hear Y/N softly call me, fearful. I turn, "I'm right here, sweetheart." She's back to grabbing at her head again, "It hurts. She doesn't like this. She'll come here." "It'll be okay. Listen to my voice, okay? I'm right here. You'll be okay. This machine will fix everything. Chara can't hurt you anymore once we do this." She silently stares at the floor, no further reactions. Y/N's bright (e/c) eyes have gone dark and dull.

'This will work. It has to. She'll get better.'

Wasting no more time, I rush to the place where the doc kept the control panel. It's completely wrecked. Unlike the actual extractor that's heavy built, the controls are not. I suddenly feel really cold, seeing it, "No.. No, this isn't-.." Wires have been shredded. Claw marks go through the metal walls as if they're paper. The cut circuits probably burned the damage even further. Parts have been crushed and some are lying in pieces on the floor.

'This is NOT good.'

"What's wrong?" Y/N asks, worried because of my distress. "That thing, it got to the control board. It's severely damaged." "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! WE CAME ALL THIS WAY FOR NOTHING! YOU'RE USELESS!" She yells, furious. I jump from the sudden tone, turning back to her. Y/N's pupils flickered bright red, her face flared with anger. Without warning, Y/N harshly slaps herself, letting out a pained shriek.

It goes quiet for a moment, with me staring at her with extreme concern. Her pupils go dull again and she mutters, "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm sorry, Sans. I..."

I mumble, "It's okay. You're probably right." "That wasn't what I wanted to say. Listen to me. You're smart." It startled me when she begins to laugh, "See this as that completely fried circuit box from back home. Right? You managed to fix that mess without a problem."

"Y/N, this is not that simple! This technology is different. The situation is different, we're not dealing with the effects of a snowstorm here. Wires are clawed and tangled, which means the power to the controls has to be redirected through something else. Who knows if the circuit chips aren't completely fried already?! The magic stabilizers have to be recalibrated. The amount of power we need along with a faulty and damaged system could overload and fry the system completely, hurting you and blowing up the entire lab! I don't even know if the backup carbon fuel cells are still functional!"

She interrupts my ranting, smiling, "Sans, all of that stuff you just said proves my point. You can do this. You're a complete nerd that probably looked so adorable in that lab coat." I groan, feeling my face heat up with blush, "That is off topic." Y/N giggles more, enjoying herself. I take one more look at the controls.

'It's worth a shot... Nothing wrong with one more lesson on testing.. heh.. Am I right, G?'

I smirk, "Fine. I'll see what I can salvage from the main computer and use those parts to repair the more crucial stuff. It doesn't need to be automated. I think there's a emergency manual override panel and tool kit hidden in here somewhere..."

As I search the room, it's quiet. It's a little bit of a blur, but something tells me the things I'm looking for are over there. I go a few feet to the side, tracing my hand across the cold paneled walls. I tap on a certain spot.

Out of memory or maybe just from having this strong gut feeling, I act as if I've done this several times before. Just as I suspected, it's hollow. I grab the edge of the panel and pull, it loosens. Using blue magic made it easier, prying it off completely in seconds. Carefully, I lean it against the wall by my feet. Behind it is a small compartment, hiding a smaller control panel while also having a tool bag stored underneath it.

I grab the bag and sit down, quickly rustling through it. I have a slight idea of what I can do, absolutely no idea if it'll work. If I had more time, like months, this would definitely be easier to plan out. I could do tests to make sure that it even works and it wouldn't harm Y/N in any way.

However, I don't. Whatever time I have left is crucial. No doubt Chara knows we've brought Y/N here, and she'll be quick to follow. I'm just doing what any panicked person would do at this point.

'I'm improvising.'

"Killer." Y/N speaks up. I keep my eyes on my task, still sorting through the tools, "Yeah?" "Good luck. I'm really sorry about everything and about earlier.. I love you too."

I stop, my soul skipping a beat. I believe that's the first time she's said it directly to me. Turning to her, I see she's completely flustered with blush. Feeling greatly embarrassed and rushed with adrenaline, I pull my hood over my head and turn back to the bag, rustling through it some more, "Thanks, sweetheart."

(~Time Skip~)

I wipe the sweat from my skull, looking over and double checking absolutely everything for the fifth time. There can't be a single thing that I missed or this entire operation is going down. I've only patched up the main compartments, and I've had to sacrifice some safety features just so I'd have the power to get it running. The most worrying thing is I added onto the extractor. Not only is it going to separate the determination and hate from Y/N's soul, but I've set the machine to separate it and destroy it.

I sincerely hope this'll work or Chara will just keep coming back. I don't know how long it's been since I started the repairs. I'm grateful Nightmare and the guys managed to keep Chara back for so long already. The place is quiet, not a single tremor or any sign of intense battles drawing closer to us. I even checked my phone to spy through the cameras, but most in that area have been cut off completely. All I saw was static.

However, Y/N has explained to me that she can feel Chara's emotions and communicate with her. Chara is still alive. She definitely sees and knows what we're planning and she is ANGRY. Y/N can't even get a break with Chara screaming in her head nonstop. I know that feeling too, you can lose your sanity real quick.

'This.. This is it..'

"Y/N, come on. I've done what I could. Let's get you inside." "Did you just say INSIDE? I have to go INSIDE OF THAT?!" Y/N panicked, hugging herself tightly.

I stumble a bit with my words, "It w-won't hurt. I-I don't think it did. Maybe I blacked out, I don't know. It's all a blur since the guys just kinda threw me into it. Well.. It wasn't broken the first time." Y/N growls at me, death glaring, "Killer. Stop talking." I step back and throw my hands up, "Yep. Got it! Sounds good."

She shakily stands herself up. Her arms up to her neck and head are covered in red marks from her scratching herself. I immediately feel upset and look away.

"I.. I'll be over here." I force my feelings down and rush to the manual control board. Small cables lay across the room, from me connecting them from those controls to whatever I could fix in the main one. I take a deep breath and start up the computer. It worked, turning on and relaying all of the main code. I wait for a moment, nothing traumatic happens.

'Haven't blown up, good. Okay.'

(~Your POV~)

I watch Killer do his thing, concentrated on setting up this machine. It's very intimidating. Getting inside of it does not seem like it would be pleasant.

'Don't you get it?! He'll betray you. He's going to kill you. Get him while his back is turned before iT's ToO LaTE!'
.
'No.'
.
'YOU'RE BEING IRRATIONAL! I'M TRYING TO HELP YOU, Y/N! REMEMBER WHAT I SAID BEFORE!'
.
'Before you clawed yourself into my soul and erased my memories, or after?'
.
'DON'T BE SO COCKY WITH ME! YOU DON'T HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT I'LL DO TO YOU AND THAT STUPID SKELETON-'

The machine let out a loud hiss, scaring me from my thoughts. I sigh, fighting off a large migraine on top of everything. Every second that goes by, I find it even harder to breathe.

'She's trying to make you give up. Ignore her.'

The two sides of the skull opened up, making loud whirring noises as gears turned and shifted. It lowered down a few feet, allowing me to be able to step inside. It has enough space to fit me in there, consider how big it actually is.

Twisting around, I can see Sans watching it too. I can see that anxious look he has, and I agree with him. This is a huge risk.

Trying to stay positive, I raise my voice over the loud noise, "Hey!" I got Killer's attention and he looks at me. I give him a big smile and thumbs up, "Everything will be fine!" Sans takes a breath and shakily nods.

Once the machine came to a complete stop, I slowly stepped inside.

'It's just a closet. We're playing hide and seek or something. Just think of it as a closet. It's a closet. You'll be out in seconds.'

Placing my back against the wall, I can hear so much cranking and creaking coming from inside the machine. I look up to see large holes, tubes of darkness that lead to who knows where or do who knows what.

'It'll be fine.'

"It'll take a moment. Please try not to move." Killer instructs, not even able to keep solid eye contact with me. The reality finally hit me, when I saw the doors slowly begin to close. I waited, taking as many deep breaths as possible without going into solid panic.

It got darker and darker as the gap between the two doors got smaller. That's when I heard a laugh. My heart dropped and I swear my lungs wanted to burst straight through my chest.

Right before the doors shut completely, Chara walked into the room smiling, knife in hand, "I FOUND YOU~"

I scream, high pitched and in terror, "SANS!" "DON'T MOVE, Y/N!" Killer demands, already seeing her. Large red pupils spark up in his eye sockets and he grins, "You made a bad choice coming here-" A gigantic blaster spawns by his side, nowhere near the size of Classic Sans' blasters I fought. Black liquid spills out of it's large eyes and mouth. It growls with so much rage and aggression that I can hear it while being across the room and inside the loud extractor. Chills went down my spine and my knees began trembling, watching it's one red eye lock onto Chara.

I can't believe what I'm seeing. What the heck does Killer have a weapon like that for?! I'm immediately brought back to when I first fell down here.

The doors. The stone doors to the ruins were completely burned and crumbled. I've had my fair share of burns and close calls from Classic's blasters. I learned a lot about them and the marks they would leave on the trees.

'Were the doors' destruction the result of that thing's magic?!'

Chara laughs, amused, "So you brought that thing out? Doesn't matter. I have this entire place under my control. ALL THIS TIME AND YOU NEVER REALIZED IT! I'll blow this place up with all of us here. You'll have no choice but to reset and play with me A L L O V E R A G A I N. Even you and your little frienDs cAN'T sToP ME!" She smiles and that's when sirens began to blare. The facility shook in large tremors like before, but even worse, "Core meltdown protocol initiated. Core overheating, mass destruction and explosion imminent."

My body is frozen in place. Not much longer after that, the doors shut and lock me into pitch black darkness, locking out all vision and sound with it.

The machine shook tremendously and screamed. Or at least, I think it's the machine. Suddenly, I feel absolutely terrified.

'Chara's here. Where are the others? What's going on? Did the computer just say explosion?! KILLER'S OUT THERE ON HIS OWN!'

My breathing worsened, I start hyperventilating. I can't see anything. I can't hear anything other than the extractor. WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN?!

I scream when at that moment, everything was consumed by a flash of white.
