Chapter IV

"Have you seen Sans!" He's starting to like us more and more! Luckily I told him you used your healing powers to heal him!

- So naive and unconscious… You're adorable brother »Papyrus puffs his cheeks, annoyed. It must be said that he doesn't really appreciate it when his brother makes fun of him that way. The two brothers still cannot agree on Gaster: one is convinced that the adult is changing to finally free them, while the other is convinced that this change of he attitude is nothing more than a simple trap to keep them with him longer. The youngest does everything to open the eyes of his older brother who remains stuck on the idea that he must become stronger in the hope of escaping from here. Without meditating on the issue day and night, he fails to come up with a concrete plan to limit the damage, and to limit the fears he could cause his younger brother. Finally, unwilling to leave their cell for the moment, Papyrus throws himself on the oldest skeleton emerging from his reflection.

"Without I'm bored!" Make me fly!

-… Huh? - Oh. You mean… like that? Without closing his right eye while the left glows blue, and very quickly, the little skeleton ends up flying into the air. The latter is enthusiastic like a madman and proclaims loud and clear that he looks like a hero thanks to that. But this moment of euphoria will quickly fade. Indeed, in a rather teasing mood today, Sans begins to make his brother do a little circle, and very quickly, the pace picks up until Papyrus's body is barely visible correctly to one eye. human. But thanks to its blue globe, the oldest skeleton perfectly perceives the body of the young one who pulls a head not possible. After having laughed enough, Sans decides to bring his brother to the ground, and the latter does not take long to collapse to the ground due to dizziness.

"We hope you enjoyed traveling with our company, unfortunately we encountered some turbulence. We hope you don't mind it.

-S… Without… It's… It's not�� funny…

-It's okay, relax bro, but admit that it was… div air weaving. He assimilates a mocking wink at her as his pupils return to normal.

-… SAAAANS! I can't take any more of your stupid puns!

-He calm down, I just wanted to… relax the air . Obviously, it ended with a chase in the rest of the establishment.

After running for quite a while, the exhausted two brothers ended up joining Gaster in the lab. The latter does not look up from his computer and allowed Papyrus to play with the coveted rubik's cube. Sans, he took his place on a chair near the scientist. He watches out of the corner of his eye his younger brother who is playing a little further away, and he decides to take advantage of this privileged moment.

"So uhm… did you save my brother?" It's still-

-I don't want to talk about it Without. And we won't talk about the fact that you used your magic to heal me either: you hate me after all, right? The adult remains focused on his work and types on the keyboard at lightning speed.

-Don't think I'm starting to like you, I'm not as naive as Pap '. If I did it, it was simply because he asked me to, nothing more.

-Yet you should be more grateful and respectful to the monster who saved your brother, don't you think? The older of the two brothers grinds his teeth.

-I don't think that-

-Saaans! Looked ! I did it again! The small skeleton got in between the two bigger ones to show his toy to his brother. The latter laughs a little.

-It's fine Grandpa, I'm proud of you. He strokes her head affectionately.

-Say Sans, you come with me to the kitchen? I'm starting to get hungry… "Disappointed to have to stop his conversation with Gaster here, Sans willingly agrees to follow his little brother to the food stores. Leaving the lab, the older skeleton watches the scientist over his shoulder for a moment, but the scientist is decidedly not resolved to look up from his computer, which is worth another sigh from the monster.

It's quite complicated to navigate this large building, but the two brothers still managed to find the location of the kitchen. Although they are used to Gaster bringing them back to eat, they still know quite well the distribution of rooms within the establishment. Anyway, in the kitchen, Papyrus climbs as best he can the various pieces of furniture to reach the cupboards fixed in height, under the amused glance of his brother who observes him simply, the arms crossed against his chest.

"Do you want me to use my powers to make you fly but not to reach food more easily?" You really have no logic, do you know that?

- Shut up Without! I am concentrating! And then… You have to preserve your talents for extreme emergencies, right? I can't exploit you like this all the time! The other shrugs then uncrosses his arms to place his hands in his pockets.

-What do you want to happen to us here? The only danger is taped to his computer, so good… "Suddenly, a slight shaking accompanied by an unpleasant noise is heard in one of the neighboring rooms. The two skeletons look at each other for a moment before redirecting their attention to the slightly high-pitched noise. Without quickly lowering his brother from his perch using his telekinesis, and once on the ground, the young skeleton instinctively places himself behind his big brother before grabbing the latter's shorts.

"What's that noise… Without…?"

-No idea, it seems to come from the abandoned experiment room… You know, the one with the big skull-shaped machine, the one Gaster forbade us to go see? The smaller one obediently nods as his brother tries to reassure him as best he can. However, the curiosity of the older skeleton eventually wins out over him and he ends up leaving the kitchen with his brother who does not want to abandon him. They both go to this mysterious room which continues its infernal din.

Inside, Sans is immediately drawn to the computer screen that appears to be connected to the machine. An incalculable amount of information circulates on the screen, and this information is quickly identified: this is what Gaster was doing in his office earlier.

The machine races but remains perfectly static. The eyes of the skull glow white as the various pipes begin to shake and even threaten to collapse. In the end, just in front of what appears to be the mouth of the skull, we can start to see a material form being generated. The figure is initially fuzzy and all white, but little by little this thing straightens up to fit perfectly on her legs as a green sweater with a yellow stripe takes shape on her upper body.

"S… S… Without… C… What is… this…?" His big brother doesn't have time to answer that Gaster is teleporting to them, and anyway, Sans wasn't really planning to answer since he doesn't know the answer and he's petrified with fear.

-Do not worry. This is my very last creation that I have just developed. It is a monster with superior intelligence and has a morphology similar to that of humans. It is a real living weapon that could turn into a formidable war machine.

-… This thing has a name…? Asks Without still all trembling. Then Gaster nods.

-I named him "Chara" ".
