Chapter IV: Outside the Ruins. Skeletons, Puns, and Puzzles
-Archer-
We woke up and ate breakfast before getting ready. "Ready Frisk?" I asked. She gave me a thumbs up and went over to toriel.
"Oh my children. I wish you could stay. But I know you must go. Please, be safe..." She hugged us. We stepped on the other side of the door. "...I love you my children. But...." The door closed. "Don't come back..."
"Mom..." I looked down. "I promise, after we find the way out...we'll come get you."
"We love you." Frisk placed a hand on the door.
"Come on. We should go."
We walked away from the ruins. Up ahead, Flowey popped up. I pulled out and arrow and pulled back on the bow.
"Oh. I bet you feel great right now. You decided to play by your own rules. You spared one monster. So. What will you do next? Continue to spare and spare? You'll get bored. And then what will you? Kill from frustration?" He looked at me. "And you. Can Frisk even trust you?"
I growled and shot the arrow. Flowey went down. He came up and pulled it from the ground.
"Idiots. Don't forget, its KILL OR BE KILLED." He threw it at Frisk. She broke up. I reach. The arrows head cut my hand before I grabbed it, stopping it from hitting Frisk. I quickly pulled it on the bow but Flowey was gone. "Stupid little weed."
Frisk grabbed my arm. "Let continue Archer. Forget about him."
"Okay frisky."
We giggled and walked forward. We opened the door at the end.
It was cold. There was snow everywhere. The door shut close behind us.
"Guess we can't go back."
"..." Frisk started walking. I walked next to her. There was a big stick but she couldn't pick it up. We started forward when we heard a snap. We turned around and the branch was broken. We slowly walked. We stopped at a bridge with.....bars?...to wide to stop...anything?
We heard steps behind us.
"Come on guys. Don't you know how to greet a new friend? Why don't you two turn around a shake my hands."
We slowly turned and shook his h...
Two woopy cushions went off.
"I've only done it with one person, but two. Omg. That was funny." It was a skeleton. He was laughing hard. "Hey. I'm sans. Sans the skeleton."
"I'm Frisk."
"Hi. I'm Archer."
"So. You two are human, right? That hilarious."
"-_-"
"..."
"I'm actually suppose to be on lookout for humans right now, but that's too much work for me. But my brother, well he's a human hunting fanatic."
'Aw carp.' I thought.
"See that barricade. He built it to keep humans out but he made the bars to wide. So you can just walk through."
We walked through together to a small clearing.
"He's harmless." Sans looked ahead. "In fact, here he comes now. Hey. Frisk was it? Go hide behind that conveniently shaped lap. Archer, ummm."
I jumped into a pile of snow.
"Well that was a cold idea."
"SANS! YOU LAZY BONES! WHY AREN'T YOU AT YOUR POST?"
"I'm on break."
There was a taller skeleton with a old red scarf on. He seemed frustrated.
"YOU'VE BEEN ON BREAK FOR THE PAST 4 HOURS." (I think)
"Well yeah. I'm BONE tired."
"SANS! NO MORE PUNS!"
"Come on paps. I've been working DOWN TO THE BONE."
"GRRRRRRRR!"
"Come on bro. You're smiling."
"I KNOW AND I HATE IT. I'M GONNA GO WORK ON MY PUZZLES. AS FOR YOUR WORK. PUT A LITTLE MORE...BACKBONE INTO IT. NYEH HEH HEH HEH HEH HEH HEH.......NYEH!" He left.
"Ok. You two can come out now."
We walked over to sans.
"Like I was saying, he's harmless. If you could just play along with him, I'd really appreciate it. And don't worry. I'll keep an eyesocket out for you two."
We thanked him and continued.
It felt like we were being watched. I could see Papyrus and Sans. We stop in front of some rocks before they looked at us.
"SANS. ARE THOSE HUMANS?"
"Um. I think those are rocks."
"OH."
"Hey. What's that in front of the rocks?"
"SWEET ASGORE!.....ARE THEY HUMAN?"
"Yep."
"*COUGH COUGH* HUMANS. YOU MAY NOT CROSS THIS AREA. I, FUTURE ROTAL GUARD PAPYRUS WILL CAPTURE YOU. PROCEED IF YOU WISH SO! NYEH HEH HEH!"
Sans smiled then walked off.
"Well. Ready Archer?"
"I guess. I wonder how this is gonna work.."
-at the first puzzle-
"...really." I whispered.
He went on to tell us about how the area between us was rigged to electrocute us if we step wrong. He said that the orb he was holding would do the shocking.
"ALRIGHT HUMAN. JUST TRY AND..."
He was shocked.
"Hey bro. I think they should be the ones to hold it."
"RIGHT." he walked through it and handed us the orb the went back.
"ALRIGHT. ONE AT A TIME HUMANS."
Me and Frisk both noticed the footprints as we decided to both grab the orb.
"TOGETHER I SEE. NO MATTER. YOU'LL NEVER GET PASSED. NYEH HEH HEH!"
Frisk tugged on his scarf.
"SO. YOU GOT PASS MY FIRST PUZZLE. NEVERTHELESS. THE NEXT ONE WILL BE EVEN HARDER!" He ran off laughing, followed by a slow sans.
Me and frisk giggled.
"He very...." Frisk started.
"Enthusiastic."
"Yeah. Heheh."
On our way to the next puzzle, we see a big suit of armor with a dog's head.
"Cute." Frisk said. It had a sword a shield.
"Yeah. Cute. Riiiiight."
We dodged his attack while frisk would [Act] and *pet* it. Its neck would stretch and stretch and oh my soul. How high will he go?! I then noticed he was staring at frisk's stick.
"I think he want to play fetch?"
She threw it and his stretched next flew and he grabbed it and brung it back. She threw it a flew time then petted it some more. It allowed her to show [Mercy] as she spared it. A few small puzzles and we came across a bridge and we crossed about half way before that energetic voice was heard.
"NYEH HEH HEH! WELCOME TO NEXT PUZZLE HUMANS."
Suddenly, various weapons came down and was pointing our way.
"THE GAUNTLET, OF TERROR."
(I think)
"Prepare yourselves, humans. Because, it. Is. TIME."
Sans pushed a button
Ah sh**
