Episode 22

UltSans hesitated.

For an instant—he froze—but then—

His entire body began to glitch violently.

His pupils vanished, his eye sockets turning pitch black, as if the very concept of light had been erased from them.

His body twitched unnaturally, breaking through reality in brief flickers of distorted movement.

And then—his voice—

Deep. Warped. Distorted beyond recognition.

UltSans: "GET OFF OF ME!!"

The world shook.

The sky itself cracked open, tearing like fragile glass, as countless blasters emerged from the rifts.

Not dozens.

Not hundreds.

Thousands.

Maybe millions.

A storm of chaos ignited in every direction, massive beams of pure destruction firing at random.

The surrounding landscape was annihilated instantly—mountains, trees, the very ground crumbling into nothingness.

This wasn't just an outburst.

This was raw instability.

This was a reality-breaking meltdown.

And Melissa?

She didn't move away.

Instead—

She pressed closer.

Her body leaned fully against his, molding to him, her touch forceful yet calculated.

She wasn't afraid.

She wasn't retreating.

She was using this.

Using him.

A memory flashed in her mind—

The way he had frozen when she first kissed him.

The way his body had tensed, locked in place.

So she did it again.

And instantly—

He stopped.

For just a moment—

His body halted mid-glitch.

His blasters stuttered, their beams flickering between existence and oblivion.

But then—

The corruption worsened.

His glitches became more erratic.

Some of the blasters melted, their forms distorting like wax under intense heat.

Others vanished entirely—deleted from existence as if they were never real.

Some?

They kept firing uncontrollably, their beams appearing only when they wanted to, as if reality itself was rejecting logic.

And yet—

Melissa didn't stop.

She kept pushing further, deepening her manipulation, pressing into his mind, his body—

And it was working.

He was reacting.

His body was warming.

But then—

The shadows moved.

Abyss emerged.

The symbiote detached itself from UltSans' back, its liquid-like form expanding, moving on its own, creeping over his frame.

Melissa barely had time to process it before—

Abyss reacted instantly.

A clawed hand shot up, its razor-sharp talons gleaming, and with a single swift motion—

Her clothes were shredded—torn apart like mere paper.

Melissa gasped, startled.

But before she could move—

Abyss grabbed her, its monstrous limbs wrapping around her with an unnatural strength.

She was pinned down, her back slamming into the ground.

Abyss loomed over her, its form shifting, expanding, growing.

Its eyes—massive, predatory—pierced into her, glowing with an eerie red intensity.

Its body pulsed, breathing as if alive, thick tendrils of inky black mass coiling and slithering like living shadows.

Its mouth curled into an unnatural grin, jagged and filled with rows of unnerving, gleaming fangs.

And then—it spoke.

Its voice was no longer UltSans'.

This was something else.

Something primordial.

Something alien.

Something hungry.

Abyss: "You wanted the 'hard way,' didn't you?~"

It tilted its monstrous head.

Its grin widened.

Abyss: "Let's see just how much you 'enjoy' this…"

Its claws tightened their grip.

Its form rippled, expanding further, growing into something more monstrous, more terrifying.

This wasn't just a symbiote anymore.

This was evolution in real-time.

This was a force beyond comprehension.

Abyss' Full Symbiote Form (When Covering UltSans)

When Abyss spreads over UltSans, it doesn't just wrap around him like a second skin—it reshapes him, enhancing his features, turning him into something both inhuman and terrifyingly divine.

Overall Shape & Build

Taller & Broader – UltSans, originally lean, becomes more imposing, his frame stretching slightly as Abyss builds dense muscle-like mass over him. He now radiates sheer dominance, appearing more beast-like than humanoid.

A Fluid, Living Armor – Abyss' surface shifts and moves, an inky black mass that pulsates and writhes like living shadows, making it look like his form is constantly shifting, as if he exists between solid and liquid.

Bone Integration – Unlike most symbiotes that just coat their host, Abyss incorporates UltSans' skeletal structure into the design—his ribs, spine, and jaw remain partially visible, though they are now twisted, elongated, and reinforced with dark, jagged edges.

Heightened Monstrosity – UltSans' skeletal frame is now thicker, heavier, giving him a more monstrous and primal stance, his very posture exuding unnatural power.

Head & Face

A Jagged, Fanged Grin – UltSans' normally simple skull now has elongated, sharpened teeth, with dark, inky tendrils writhing between them, almost as if his mouth is never fully closed.

Abyssal Eye Design – His eye sockets no longer exist. Instead, his entire upper face is covered in a smooth, dark mass, with two glowing slits where his eyes should be. These slits constantly shift between blue and red, flickering and distorting like a glitched-out screen.

Abyss' Mark – A red, glowing sigil-like marking is imprinted on his forehead, constantly pulsing and flickering, shifting in intricate patterns like a corrupted rune of power.

Tendrils & Additional Faces – Occasionally, tiny faces, skull-like and whispering, push out from the symbiote around his head, only to sink back in. They seem to mutter fragmented, corrupted words, remnants of past victims absorbed into Abyss.

Torso & Upper Body

Layered Symbiotic Plating – His torso isn't smooth. Instead, black, armor-like plates form over his chest and shoulders, shifting like a chitinous exoskeleton, making it look as if he is wearing a living carapace.

Glowing Ribcage Effect – His ribcage remains partially visible, but now it glows from within, emitting a faint, eerie crimson or blue light, pulsing like a slow, corrupted heartbeat.

Sharp Spinal Structure – His spine is exposed, extending slightly outward in sharp, jagged protrusions, looking more like a monstrous ridge of vertebrae than a normal back.

Shifting Shadows – The symbiote never stops moving, parts of it occasionally pulling away from his body in tendrils before snapping back into place. This makes it seem like he is a living abyss, constantly shifting between reality and nightmare.

Arms & Hands

Monstrously Elongated Fingers – His fingers are now longer, sharper, each ending in razor-like black claws that occasionally drip with inky darkness.

Adaptive Arm Structure – His arms pulse and shift, sometimes appearing heavily armored, and at other times stretching unnaturally, allowing him to strike from unexpected angles.

Multiple Shadow Arms – Occasionally, extra arms and claws emerge from his back, ghostly and half-formed, as if trying to reach out and grasp something unseen.

Legs & Movement

Digitigrade-Like Stance – His legs are slightly altered, taking on a beast-like stance without fully shifting into an animal form. This gives him a more predatory, prowling movement.

Blackened, Clawed Feet – His feet have been altered, now tipped with curved talons, leaving faint scorch marks with every step.

Back & Additional Features

Tendril AdornmentsLong, flexible appendages whip from his back, some ending in razor-like points, others forming jagged, spike-like protrusions. They move and twist with a mind of their own.

Occasionally Visible Bone StructureHis shoulder blades and upper spine occasionally surface through the symbiote, only to be covered again. It gives the illusion of something both armored and decayed.

Overall Visual Theme

Abyss' full symbiote form on UltSans is a perfect fusion of monstrosity and godhood.

It doesn't look like a suit.

It doesn't look like armor.

It looks like he has been reconstructed from the void itself, made from darkness and hunger.

It's a living nightmare—a skeletal wraith wrapped in symbiotic corruption.

This form isn't just about strength.

It's about fear.

When UltSans enters this state, he isn't just UltSans anymore.

He is a walking abyss.
