I made my way along the path, shivering and looking around. The woods seemed the same as I remembered, and I saw the poorly made bars up ahead. I heard footsteps behind me and I faced Sans. He looked at me with that grin of his.
"No need for formalities this time, I already know who you are and what you've done."
I shuddered, looking at him before hanging my head.
"S-Sans...I'm..."
"As much as I'd love to lecture you, there's another issue on our hands. Have you heard of W.D. Gaster?"
I shook my head no.
"He used to be the Royal Scientist of the Underground, but there was a fatal accident. Until recently, he's been deemed no longer existing. This morning, we've found signs that he somehow was able to make contact with citizens," Sans explained. I nodded, assuming that the Flowey imitation was this 'Gaster' person. We started walking towards Snowdin, waving to Doggo, Dogamy, and Dogaressa. When we eventually made it to the town, everybody appeared to be inside. Sans noticed the same thing. Then we noticed bones sticking out of the door to Grillby's. We hurried inside to see Papyrus, yelling as he accidentally sent bones flying around.
"Bro! What's going on?" Sans asked, dodging the incoming bones. Papyrus turned to face him and we saw it: the familiar cracked face trying to merge with Papyrus.
"BROTHER, IT'S NOT GOING AWAY." Papyrus said, trying to calm down. I panicked a bit myself, wondering what to do.
"Sans, how do we save him??" I asked. Sans was quiet, though I could tell he was just thinking carefully. I then felt an idea come to me.
"Sans, that blue attack!"
He nodded, looking at Papyrus.
"Bro, try to stay perfectly still!" He said, sending several blue bones at Papyrus. The taller skeleton tried to relax, staying as still as he could. Gaster didn't realize what was going on, just as I assumed, and he got knocked off of Papyrus by the bones. He got up and looked at us.
"I will return.." He said before fading away. I looked at Sans, who was comforting his brother. The shorter skeleton then looked back at me.
"We have some serious business to discuss with Asgore."
