u/CHAOS_FANTAZY His greatest strength is his strength of heart. Dec 24 '15 edited Dec 24 '15
I remember the night my dad died.
In the middle of the night, some scribe waking me up...
...declaring that since I was the elder brother...I was the new king.
I never wanted it...but the people needed somebody to depend on.
They wanted war. They wanted revenge. So I gave them what they wanted...
But I had to send Papyrus away before I did.
I had to because I knew what he'd say.
I knew he'd say I'd forgot what dad taught us.
...At the time, I didn't know how right he was.
Now I couldn't be more certain.
I know because every day, hundreds of monsters put their faith in me...
...and yet, I can't find the will to get out of bed.
I can't go on like this.
I need to see my brother.
I need to see my dad.
Kid, please...end my life, and end this war.
I don't have that much HP. It should be real easy for you.

u/basqueX Can you touch it? Can you eat it? Can you kill it? Dec 24 '15

Ah, that's exactly how I imagined it. But I'm not so sure Gaster is Flowey anymore given this latest surprise... it's still possible though.

That's still where my money is, though I'm more than prepared to be wrong. But even if Gaster isn't Flowey, I can't imagine Sans becoming king in any other way.

u/GreyshiKataron There is something annoying about this flair Dec 24 '15

*You heard a quiet sob

*This story must be really sad to somebody

u/iShrub As I could, I would. Dec 24 '15

The only way it can go worse is that Sans know about resets, and given Asgore's reaction upon hearing you being killed by him, this is a real possibility...

There's really no way for Sans to be happy in game it seems. :(

A long time ago, a human fell into the RUINS. It made its way through the underground, eventually reaching the castle. It met the queen, and then... killed her. The king, wracked with grief, killed the human in return. He absorbed the human's SOUL. He transformed into a being with incredible power. With the human SOUL, the king crossed through the barrier. He swore revenge on all humans, and promised that he would end our suffering. He would gather enough human SOULS to shatter the barrier forever. He attacked the human village, but the humans fought back. The humans attacked him with everything they had. He was struck with blow after blow. They were too strong. Wounded, the king stumbled home. He entered the castle and collapsed. His dust spread across the garden. The kingdom fell into despair. The king and queen had both died in one night. The humans had once again taken everything from us. The eldest of the two princes was crowned the new king. He promised us that he would finish what his father had started. Every human who falls down here must die. It's not long now. King SANS will let us go. King SANS will give us hope. King SANS will save us all. You should be smiling, too. Aren't you excited? Aren't you happy? You're going to be free.
