How long? How long has it been for Abyss, for his Trio? He does not know. He has no real idea how long it has been for him and the others. He knows it has been such a very long time, sure. But he does not know how long it has been, as there is no clock in there. He has lost track of time. He found hav even there for days, for weeks...he would not count months and years, due to it not feeling this long. And unfortunately for Sans, there have been no progress in trying to find a way out. The place seems to block his ability to make portals. And even worse, is that they cannot damage this place is anyway. Well...they can, in some ways, sure, but the damage would simply heal itself.

And unfortunately for the others, namely, AbyssSwap Papyrus and AbyssShift Chara, they are not doing just like Sans is not. In fact, they are feeling very angry, that they are stuck in a position that they did not need to be stuck in, nor having no reason to be stuck in. But The Trio does have one question in mind.

"What's the purpose of all 3 of us being here?"

They are so confused. They do not understand why they are meant to be here. What is the point of them being present here.

Sans looked down, as he began to wonder why? Did Error404 make this thing, to trap him? It would make sense, but at the same time, does not, as he needs Sans to go to the Abyss. So no, he would not need to trap him. Maybe it was for something else that is here? Something else that they need to contain, and just just 'them.' Maybe it's for something else.

"How long...how long do we have to keep on doing this?"

Sans said. He felt hopeless, as it feels like he is back in Nightmare's castle, except it feels much more longer than ever before. He does not understand why he needs to stay this long. All he understands, is that he is forced to do this along with the other 2 that are with him in this mess. It seems that this thing will never end. The human, they just keep on coming back. Every time they die, they return, and they are now much more smarter than ever. Obviously, as they can recall that will happen to them, and what has happened to them, that they are like this. And because of this, the Trio had to change their approach in the middle of combat, and rarely change their approach in fights at the beginning, in order to keep the kid off balance. But now, they are running out of options. And the last fight that they had with the human nearly got Chara killed in a very dangerous close way to death's door. And now...it is likely that one of them is going to die in the next fight that they will be in...they must be mentally prepared to die by the hands of the one that they're fighting.

But it seems that they do not have not wait for anything new for long...because all of them than felt something. A new presence. But it wasn't the kid's. No...instead...it was something else. Something far different than the kid that they are fighting. They sensed the kid...but they are being blocked by someone else that's here. And it is not a very welcoming presence that is fighting off against the kid.

"Do you guys feel that?"

Sans said, as Papyrus and Chara nodded.

"We do. This is a different presence."

Papyrus spoke out, and Chara nodded back.

"Papyrus is right. And...it's similar to you, Sans."

This caught Sans' attention, as he than spoke out.

"Really?"

Chara nodded. But before anyone can react, the beginning part of the Judgement Hall was beginning to change. Not in appearance, mind you. But in color.

The beginning side of the Judgement Hall...it is staring to turn a dark blue. And while it resembles the color on Sans' shirt...it is also a much more menacing one. Than...they heard something. Footsteps.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

The footsteps echoed from beyond and in front of Sans and his trio. They watched...as they see a figure beginning to appear from the Hall's shadows. But...the 3 judges sees that there is not one shadow. Rather...there are 3, just as there are 3 judges waiting, standing, as they watch to see what'll happen, and who it is that will appear. Unfortunately...they were not ready for who it was that had just arrived, as well as the friends that are sent along also.

Sans immediately sees that these are not good people at all. And in fact, he instantly recognizes them in a way. It is Horror, Killer, and Dust. But...the problem is...they are all Abyss versions of them. The moment he saw them, Sans than spoke out.

"Oh hell no."

He than snapped his fingers the moment he saw them get close, and the Abyss Shards formed in front of their necks, preventing them from getting closer to the group than ever before. They stopped, and Horror Abyss looks down at the Abyss Shards, before speaking out to Sans.

"Geez. Is that some way to greet a new pal?"

But Chara has their own response.

"Tch. You think I would be stupid enough to let you get close to us? Also, tell me something, how did you get past the kid?"

Abyss Killer smiled, as he spoke out to Sans.

"Let's just say...a friend...of yours is taking good care of them."

Sans has no idea what Abyss Killer meant by...friend. But it is obviously not good.

"Who are you 3, and why are you here?"

But Sans clenched his fist, as he spoke out.

"I wonder of who sent you 3. Let me guess. Nightmare."

This caught all 3 of them by surprise, as Dust Abyss spoke out to him.

"You know of him?"

Sans glared, as he than spoke out.

"Yeah, and I know of your original counterparts, when they tortured me in your castle, along with their boss. Your counterparts and Nightmare tortured me for an entire week, and it was literal Hell there, all just to force me to join their ranks."

Chara and Papyrus sounded very disgusted at that. To think that there was someone that tried to force Sans into his ranks, even torturing him to break his spirit badly. That proves that these 3 are not here to joke around, and are likely going to do the same thing for them.

It is very obvious to Sans that...it is going to get messy for his group here. These 3 or 4, counting the one that is dealing with the human, are sent by Nightmare to try and get them. But this time, he is not going to back down without a fight. Dust Abyss glared, his left eye flaring a purple mist, Determination and Patience working together, as he spoke out to Abyss Sans.

"Damn it. Looks like your cover is blown. Well...no use hiding that fact now is there?"

Sans stepped forward, an unamused look now present on his very, as he spoke out to Dust.

"No...there is not."

Chara than stepped forward, as they spoke out to Dust.

"So you honestly think you can try and fool us when one of our own has experience with what you 3 have?"

Papyrus also stepped forward, as he than spoke out as well.

"Because if you think that we are going to be fooled by that, than you are dead wrong. All 3 of us, we cases you, all the bloodshed and the golem for the you had inflicted on others...including the ones that you loved the most."

Papyrus said the last part in a growl, clearly not happy with what he is sending.

Dust looks down, before closing his right eye, and the Abyss Shards moved away from their necks, as Dust than swung his scythe, but mostly for the use of repositioning it, as he spoke.

"In all honesty...I was actually expecting for you to realize what was likely going for happen next. I had a hunch that you had an encounter with Nightmare himself, and clearly, you caused one heck of a headache when you fought against him and tried to purify him. Well...time for you to pay for it, Sans."

Abyss Killer smiled, as he made a black crystal knife in his hand, as he spoke out.

"I always wanted to make this moment. Now I get to kill you so that Papyrus and your loved ones will be so heartbroken by what will happen to you, as well as of what will happen to your friends when I am finished with you."

Horror Abyss flexed his clawed his hands, before a red crystal axe than formed into his hand, and it just have been very heavy, as it than crashed down to the floor fast, as Horror Abyss spoke out in a menacing tone.

"3 head dogs...Comin up!!"

Sans is clearly not amused by this, as he than spoke back to the trio that is now before them.

"If you think that I am gonna go down swinging on my own, think again. There maybe 3 of you...but is also have a 3 person team of my own, a trio. So what do you say...3 against 3?"

Papyrus looks down at Horror Sans, a glare is present in his eyes, and the same could be said for Shift Chara, as all 3 of their sclera turned black, and Dust spoke out.

"Bring it on. You'll die anyway."

Sans' response.

"We shall see!"

Than...Hell broke loose, as a fight began breaking out. And needless to say, this is a fight that is extremely difficult, even for all 3 judges as a whole. They thought that dealing with the kid is one thing, a as have been very difficult on their own. But these 3 Sanses, who are known to be extremely murderous, are on a level of their own. Not only are they just like Abyss Sans, in terms of most of their powers, but they even have additional ones, in order to back up this level of difficulty. Luckily for the Good Trio, they immediately made 'partners,' that they can fight against that best fit them. Chara is going for Killer Sans, since he wields a knife of his own, and therefore, should be matching of a similar step to Chara. Papyrus goes for Horror Abyss, but the reasons for this one is unknown. But Sans...on the other hand...he decides to combat against Dust. Not simply because he is someone that can match him with most of his powers...but it is because of something that is severely pissing him off. It is something that is on his head. That something...is Papyrus' scarf, torn up, shortened...needless to say, Sans realizes that Dust had killed his own brother, and that enraged him so badly, that too him, it is a personal vendetta. It may not have been his Papyrus, but it is still his brother at the end.

"You..."

Sans spoke out, as he clenched his fist at Dust, a furious look on his face, as he than spoke out to Dust again.

"You are going to pay for what you have done, for killing Papyrus!"

Dust gripped his scythe, as his tentacles began to move around much more erratically than before, as he has a much more sterner glare on his face than before. Although stern and calm, there is a hidden madness that Dust has, and is trying to keep it under control, so that it does not control his actions.

"What I did...I did it because I had no choice!"

But Sans shouted back at Dust.

"There is always a choice!! You had a choice to end it without having to kill Papyrus!! You had a choice to make when you could have asked anyone to stop it. No choice...is not an excuse!!!"

This made Dust extremely angry, as he than charged at Sans with an attempt to cut him down with his scythe. But Sans is not going to stand around and look like an idiot, as he than began to dodge the attack and used his scarves to the and pin down his corrupted murderous self. But Sans also has another thought in his mind. And this thought is about the connection between this place, and the evil Sanses that have arrived to them.

'How did these guys get here? Nightmare somehow manage to penetrate this place, which normally does not open up portals...but if that is the case than...maybe this is why this place is made. It is more than just to house the kid that we have been fighting. It is also to cage up the bad versions of me that we are now fighting off against. Is that why we're here? To act as their bait?'

Sans than wonders if he can now make the portals inside of this dimension. He opened his calm, and a small portal is opened. This made Sans smile, as he now finally understands what he needs to do in this type of situation he and his friends are now in. He than looks at Dust, and he did his signature smile, and Dust seemed to be a bit confused at what Sans is doing right now.

'What in the world? Why is he suddenly smiling? This is not normal for Sans...unless...'

Dust's eyes began to widen, as he than realized something that he really should have seen before.

'Unless he already has a plan on dealing with us all!'

He than gripped his scythe, and spoke out.

No!! I know that grin! I won't allow you to do what you are going to do!!"

Dust than launched his tendrils at Sans, who than flies up into the air, and avoided getting hit by the tendrils. He than puts his hands together, and made a crystal spear, which he then uses to slice through the tentacles like they are nothing but a hot knife through butter. This made Dust furious, as he than spreads his own wings, and flies up into the air, and launched a bunch of spears at Sans, which are Undyne's spears, and he had killed her. Needless to say, Sans is not too happy to see that, as he than avoided getting hit by the spears, and manage to deflect some of them with his crystal spear. He than fired a bunch of Abyss Shards down at Dust, but than, Dust used his scythe to spin and act as a shield, as he deflected the Abyss Shards that are coming down towards him. Sans than fired Abyss Chains at them. But Dust fired his own Abyss Chains. The 2 different types of chains hit each other, and are both sent down to the ground, as they de-manifested and disappeared completely. Abyss than looks and sees that Dust than launched fireballs at Sans, who than dodged the attack. He could use the portals, but that would mean giving away his plan, and it would make getting out of this pocket dimension impossible. No, he cannot use it yet. Not until the right moment to use it has come to him. For now, he needs to stick to his usual figuring style, and not use the portal right now.

Sans landed on the ground, as he looked up, and sees that Dust almost tried to decapitate Sans with his scythe. But Sans than leapt back, and the Scythe strikes the ground instead. This made Dust angry, as he struggled to pull out the scythe, and tries whatever he can to make sure that Sans does not do his part of the plan. The thing is...Sans is simply waiting, and Dust is playing into his hands.

"How does it feel...to become just as worse as the kid that had taken your own brother, that had killed their they you cared about, when you decided to do the same thing?"

Sans spoke out, which enraged Dust badly to the pin that he managed to get the scythe out of the ground. But Sans waiting for that, as he charged forward, and tackled Dust to the ground, before grabbing him by the neck, and throwing him into the wall of the Judgement Hall. He than rises up from the ground, raises his hands in the air, and Abyss Shards formed, as he than fired them down at Dust. But Dust was not going to let that kill him this easily, as the tentacles on his back than moved him out of the way by gripping to the wall behind him. He stood up, and one of the tentacles attempted to grab onto the scythe. Sans, realizing what was going to happen next, immediately runs towards the scythe to try and grab it before Dust can, but Dust still beats him to it, and was able to grab the scythe away from Sans, who failed to reach to it. Sans and Dust looked at each other, as both of their eyes began to glow with immense power, before they extended their hands out, and the Gaster Abyss Blasters formed from behind them. They than charged up, and before anyone could react to the sound, they fired, as the 2 beams of energy and crystal rocks began to collide with each other and try to overpower the other. Sans and Dust snarled as they pushed at each other, and they try to do whatever it takes to make sure that the other will be defeated.

With Papyrus, he is having some level of trouble dealing with Horror. While Horror may no longer have access to the Gaster Abyss Blaster, due to this power being disabled, he is physically stronger than Sans, and has a weapon that is extremely sharp and durable, that Papyrus kept trying moving out of harm's way. He could have just done with Killer, just to make it easier for him. But than it would make it insanely hard for Chara to defeat Horror, as they do not possess superhuman strength in the same capacity as Horror, who is monstrously stronger than them. So it is Papyrus' job to take Horror instead. Might not be the best move, but it is better than to have Chara go up against Horror. And besides, while he may not be as strong as Horror, he still had the blasters, and even better, he has a height advantage that he possesses. So hopefully, it can pay off for him.

But before he could begin the fight, Sans, using his telepathy, spoke out to Papyrus.

'Pap, can you hear me?'

Papyrus was caught by surprise, but realizing that it is telepathy, spoke out to Sans back mentally.

'I hear you. What is it, Sans?'

Sans than spoke out to Papyrus.

'I finally get it. I finally understand why this place we are in, why we are here. We were simply here to act as bait for, not just the kid, but for the evil versions of me, for us to trap them inside of. I can open a portal to ger us out of here, but we need to time this correctly. If they know of our plan, than they will escape, and we will be stuck inside of this place forever. But if we time this right...we'll all be free. We only get one shot at this. Now or never.'

Papyrus, understanding what Sans is trying to say to him, nods his head, as he than turned his eyes back to Horror, who seems to be confused with what Papyrus is doing, nodding his head. He than tightened his hand, as he than spoke out to Horror.

"So, Horror...you ready to get sent to hell?"

Horror smirked, as he than spoke out to Papyrus.

"How can you kill someone...that is already dead, Papyrus?"

Papyrus smiled, as he than spoke out.

"Would you prefer to be chopped to pieces and never regain your ability to reform yourself again?"

Papyrus than spreads his wings, and flies at Horror, as he charges at him. Horror was caught off guard, as he is than grabbed by the neck, and Papyrus flies into the air, and slammed Horror's face into the ceiling of the Judgement Hall, until Horror head butts Papyrus using the back of his own head. This made Papyrus let go, but flies out of the way, just in case that Horror tries to grab Papyrus by the throat. And he is right, as Horror literally tries to do that to him. But Horror didn't react fast enough, as Papyrus than flies in the air, and Horror swung his axe, doing a similar effect of Chara's Abyss Knife, except that it was a lot stronger than Chara's Abyss Knife, not to mention a bit more explosive. It hits one of the pillars, as it exploded beyond repair...or at least, what should have been beyond repair, but it still regenerated, regardless. Papyrus than fired a blaster at Horror, and Horror raised his arm to defend, but even that was of little use, as Horror still got hurt by the power of the blast. Horror was now on the wall of the Judgement Hall, but than gets out of the wall, and looks angrily at Papyrus, even though he is still smiling. Horror than fired red Abyss Chains at Papyrus, but Papyrus counters with his light red Abyss Chains, as the both of them clashed. Horror than made a wall of Red Crystal Spikes, in order to defend against another blaster that Papyrus tried to fire at him with. Horror than fired some red Abyss Shards at Papyrus, who than dodged out of the way, and the spikes hit the ground. Papyrus than fired mini orange blasters at Horror, which annoyed him a little bit, as Papyrus than grabbed Horror by the hoodie, and threw him away, and this was able to send him into a wall.

"It is very shameful to see you like this. I am not imagine what you have done to your brother."

Papyrus spoke out, as Horror spoke back.

"Hehehehehehe...you have no idea what needed to do to keep him alive."

Than, Horror got back up on his feet, as he than charged at Papyrus, and tried to chop his head off with his axe. But Papyrus was ready to counter against the Red Abyss Axe.

With Chara, they are having a hard time with Killer Sans. He can not only match them with the skills in the Knife, but also with the fact that Killer has a black goopy Gaster Abyss Blaster, which he used to try and kill Chara with. And needless to say, they are not amused in the slightest. Luckily, Sans was able to contact them with the plan, and because of this, they are ready to hold off against Killer and the others long enough for that plan to set in motion. But for now, they need to hold the line and be patient, hoping that it'll go as Abyss plans it to go as.

Killer smiled, as he spoke out to Chara.

"You oughta thank your counterpart for doing this to me. They have me a second chance and something new to feel and grow powerful with."

But Chara than spoke back to Killer.

"I think my counterpart of your world is far more annoying than you could ever be."

This made Killer a little bit unhappy, but he does not speak and charges in at Chara. Chara does the same, as they blocked clashed with Abyss Knives. The struggled against each other's strength, as Chara than kicked him back, and Killer does the same. Their strengths are equal, but not their way of fighting. In fact, there are some differences in their way of fighting against each other.

Killer than points his finger at Chara, and more crystal black knives than appeared above and behind Abyss Killer. But Chara does the same, and red crystal knives also appeared from above and behind their back, as they fired it at the same time Killer does. Both knives clashed and struck at each other, and destroyed each other.

Chara charged forward and stabbed at Killer, who blocked it with his black knife. Black liquid oozes out of his eyes and black Abyss Gem. The target-shaped soul is also still present in front of the gem, as Killer Sans than kicked Chara back. Chara swung her knife, and Killer does the same, as the red and black energy slashes clashed with each other, and exploded. But this battle just the nearing...of the end.

Killer than summoned his Gaster Abyss Blaster, Horror and Dust want next to Killer, as Dust does the same. Sans and Papyrus went next to Chara, as both Gaster's summoned their own Gaster Abyss Blasters, and both sides fired it at each other, creating a massive explosion of red and blue and purple lights.

All 6 of the combatants are looking at each other, as they are sweating and are breathing ragidly, as they are getting immensely tired at fighting each other. They had used up so much of their strength in their fight against each other, that they are not severely weakened. But...it won't stop them from continuing to fight against each other.

"You plan on...(pant)...giving up yet?"

Sans spoke out, as Dust spoke back.

"No...I don't plan on backing down just one bit."

Sans than extended his arm, and Abyss Chains are formed behind Sans.

"Than let's keep on going, and see who wins in the end of it all."

Dust nodded, as he the raised and aimed his scythe, as both sides prepares to attack at watch other...when all of a sudden...

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

A loud explosion and the sound of collapsing structures have been made...and all 6 combatants looked, and see that the kid has arrived. And fighting against the kid...was a version of Abyss Sans, but with a cracked skull, and has a Papyrus head stabbed with a crystal shaped bone. Taking the time, Chara, Papyrus, and Sans teleported, as Dust turns back around to see them gone. He than began to realize what Sans and the others have been planning all along, as he shouted out in panic and rage.

"What?! No!!"

He shouted, as he than turned around, and tries to open a portal, but the kid got to Dust first, and prevented him from entering.

Meanwhile, with the Trio that is escaping, Papyrus shouted out to Sans.

"Sans, use the portal, now!!!"

Sans nodded, as he extended his arm, and a portal opened, and all 3 of them went in, as they entered and went through the portal. The portal than closed up, and this time, the dimension that the Murder Time Quartet are in is now closed off...and will never be reopened back by anyone else again. The Murder Time Trio...no...the Murder Time Quartet...

...are stuck in this dimension...forever.
