Flowey then did the same to both Alphys and Papyrus, as more vines dug deep into Sans injured soul. Forcing Sans to use Blue SOUL Magic on the Scientist, and now his younger brother, also throwing them both rather violently. Papyrus smashing into the ceiling of the Judgement Hall, and Alphys hard against a pillar before the two flopped to the ground besides Undyne who was starting to stand back up. Sans only doing 1HP of damage to each of them, as none of the trio had any EXP nor LOVE for his KR to take any effect.

The Forgotten turned its attention back once more towards Frisk who jolted a little when they'd locked eyes, "CHILD, YOU KNOW THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO END ALL THIS PAIN. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO, IS GIVE IN. GIVE US YOUR DETERMINATION AND I SHALL RELEASE THE SKELETON AND ALL HIS FRIENDS WILL BE FURTHER UNHARMED. THEIR LIVES RESTS IN THE PALMS OF YOUR HANDS."

Frisk hesitated a moment, looking at Sans as if asking him what to do, to come up with some way for all of them to get out of this. 'How can we help you Sans? How do we all get out of this and snap Flowey out of this?' Seemed to be the thoughts going through Frisks mind as Sans read her expression.

Slowly, Sans turned his most powerful eye over to Frisk, so frail looking even more now, with his cracked soul faintly glowing beneath his shirt, half-unconscious and tears still falling but still giving her a look that told her all she needed. 'don't give up. not even for an instant. you need to hang on and stay determined. i'm rootin' for ya kiddo.'

"Human!" Undyne called out as well, reading Sans mind as she gripped tighter onto the spear she'd summoned earlier and was still holding. "To Hell with what that damned flower wants! If you were able to beat ME, then you can do anything!"

"I AGREE HUMAN! YOU CAN'T GIVE IN, JUST DO WHAT I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS WOULD DO! AND BELIEVE IN YOU!" Papyrus added, also standing up, his right eye glowing as he felt pure utter, rage in his soul. His gaze searched his captive, and badly hurt brother, vines were tightly, painfully woven in between broken, shattered bones and joints. Papyrus could only imagine the hurt every movement was.

"Th-that's right! A-Although, technically speaking there's no way t-to ev-ven fight this f-flower while he-he's hiding inside S-Sans's body b-but, somehow, I kn-know you'll figure it o-out!" Alphys stuttered, also getting up, as both Papyrus and Undyne got ready to get back into the fight again.

Frisk nodded, holding onto her determination tightly. 'That's right. If I gave up now, there's no telling what this thing would do with it. I have to stay determined.' she thought to herself, holding on.

The Forgotten's face fell once more, red eyes gleaming from Floweys face. "VERY WELL THEN. WE'LL JUST HAVE TO CONTINUE BREAKING YOUR FRIENDS UNTIL WE FIND YOUR WEAK POINT."

"The HELL you will! NGAAAAAAH!" Undyne shouted, running at Sans barehanded this time, dissipating the spear in her hand as she once more forced an arm outward to try again at just ripping the flower out from Sans skull. She couldn't even risk trying to fight the flower, not while it was inside of Sans body, reminding herself of his 1Hp and the fact it had to even less now with what was going on. 'All it would take is 1 hit. One measly little slip up and Sans could be gone for good. Can't risk it.' She told herself.

Sans could feel as the Forgotten's eyes locked onto Undyne, as it tried to force him to use his magic against her again and he tried to fight back. Flowey had all the control over him however, as his efforts were only rewarded with even more tightening of the bones and screams of pain.

Papyrus could hear the groaning and snapping of his brother's bones as the vines started constricting around him again. Papyrus tightened his fists, his knuckles would surely have been white if he had skin and his gloves were removed. Papyrus became quickly overwhelmed, he hadn't felt anger, real anger before, but white hot rage built up as it tortured his only family. "F-FLOWEY, PLEASE! STOP!" Papyrus cried, as he outstretched his own arm, attempting to pull Sans SOUL towards Undyne so she could get to him easier and hopefully before she'd get hurt.

Thanks to Sans resistance, and the Forgotten inside of Flowey being distracted, Paps was successful as Sans soul had turned blue in response to his magic, and with a quick jerk of Papyrus' hand, Sans was sent hurtling towards Undyne as she continued running at Sans grabbing his face and slamming him hard into the ground.

Sans cried out, coughing as more red blood escaped between Sans's teeth as all the air left him, when his spine was slammed harshly into the tile. Dizziness and even more pain danced along his small form, wind knocked out of him. Sans magic racing through his body wildly- Undyne kept a better grip on him this time, as Papyrus increased the gravity now on Sans soul to keep him pinned there as Undyne once more grabbed at the flower and began to pull.

Vines continued to construct, the flower holding onto dear life to his new puppet as it now became a battle of strength. Or rather, just how long Sans body would hold out, while Undyne tried to be gentle about it with pulling the Flower out. Sans screaming in pain the whole while as the Captain fought.

'I'm sorry Sans…! Just- please, hang on okay?!' Undyne thought, still continuing to wrestle with the flower, as slowly, some of the vines lost their grip on his arms and then clung to Sans ribcage. 'Just a little further!'

Undyne had almost gotten about less than half the flower out of Sans eye socket. The bones cracking around the opening as Flowey had also spread out his leaves against the inside of Sans skull, and Sans ribs threatened to cave in with how strongly Flowey's vines held onto them. Bones cracking and getting compressed to tiny fragments.

Papyrus continued the gravity magic, watching carefully as Sans's HP continued to dwindle slowly from the 0.20 and gradually ticking down. Undyne really WAS trying to be as gentle as possible, Sans HP only going down cuz Flowey was successfully essentially mincing Sans entire ribcage to smaller and smaller fragments. It'd be a wonder if they all stayed in one piece after all this…

Eventually, Flowey's vines started to slip and, now getting desperate, the Forgotten controlled Flowey's vines to start squeezing around Sans soul.

All new screams erupted from Sans at this as he felt the core of his being squeezed and compressed. Sans had let out a horrifying gasp, unable to breathe as if he was being strangled from within.

"SHIT!" Undyne startled realizing what was happening as she was about to let go, just when she'd almost got the flower nearly entirely out too.

However, Sans had had enough of this, the Captain gone too far with freeing him from this bastard demon possessed flower. Hastily, even as Sans struggled to breathe, he put all the magic he could into one of his broken, shattered arms as he struggled to lift the limb, behind Undyne and right in front of him, he managed to summon a Gaster Blaster, ready to fire a blast at near point blank at his own body and the flower if need be. If even after all this Flowey couldn't free himself from this demon's control then, it couldn't be helped. He was tired of this damn flower cheating his way through this.

Even if he had to kill himself to get rid of this plant, so be it.

"g-ge...t...t… d….du...n...k...ed… o-on… t...t...wi...ig…"

Undyne sensed the magic build up before she noticed the Blaster. Quickly, she moved her body even more so over Sans's own, just as Papyrus yanked up his arm, while also summoning Sans SOUL towards him at the same time, in a last ditch effort to save his brother what he could.

Flowey, seeming to break free during the Forgotten's panic, gasped in shock, as some red goop had finally left Flowey's body and made it's escape when it realized it had been cornered.

Flowey released the tight, ongoing grip of Sans soul and Papyrus was successful with summoning/yanking his brother's soul, catching it in his hand firmly as the blast hit its mark. Taking all three: Undyne, Sans and Flowey along with it.

"GUYS!" Frisk and Alphys screamed as a bright light exploded from the mark of impact, all three of them having to shield their eyes, as Papyrus held on tightly and protectively to the tiny injured SOUL of his brother.

Slowly, the light vanished leaving a plume of smoke dead center where the blast had struck. The Blaster slowly dissolving into the air from the magic.

Several moments passed until the smoke cleared, Undyne's tank top torn and back was badly burned, still hovering protectively over Sans's body who looked...completely broken and showed no signs of life, minus the extremely weak breathing coming from him showing he was still alive. Sans soul had not shattered thanks to Papyrus's quick thinking, Sans soul sitting gently in the hands of the younger brother and relatively unscathed, pulsing just as weakly with faint magic, and a nasty looking fissure dead center of it.

Sans bones were in several fragments, like someone had put him through a shredder. Aside from his skull and legs, which were in still one piece, tiny cracks littered everywhere that they could see through his clothes, as well as singe marks on his bones, where Undyne was unsuccessful in fully protecting him from the beam of his own Blaster and the equally nasty looking fissure around Sans's right eye socket where Flowey now lay limp over.

Frisk noticed that Flowey was no longer possessed, able to sense the evilness in Flowey was no longer there and gasped with relief. "F-Flowey! He's freed!" She informed, heading over to the three, when Alphys and Paps failed to do so.

Eventually they followed, going closer to them as Undyne seemed to regain a little bit of consciousness, struggling to push herself to her knees, groaning in pain and off of Sans body.

"UNDYNE!"

"BROTHER!"

Alphys, and Papyrus called as they caught up to Frisk, all 3 kneeling next to the two badly beaten Monsters and wounded flower. Frisk gently reached out, retrieving Flowey's limp form from Sans socket and holding him in her arms.

Papyrus noticed there was a very frail line of magic connecting to each of the fragments as it struggled to hold Sans body in one piece when Undyne pushed herself onto her back, with her elbows. Giving Paps access to his brother to assess the damage and so he could gently return Sans soul back to his home as he struggled not to cry. Papyrus's shoulders drooping impossibly low as he took in the older brothers fragile state and cracked SOUL. All 4 of the group realized it'd be nearly impossible to move Sans to the new camps site without risking losing SOME of the teeny, tiny fragments along the way.

"W-We c-can't just...st-stay here. Th-That thing might come b-back!" Alphys warned, as she checked Sans HP taking out her machine again. She noticed the screen was cracked but relatively unscathed.

*SANS

*0.0001/1HP

*1ATK

*1DEF

She then checked Undyne's stats as well, informing the others of Sans critically low HP:

*UNDYNE

*476/1,500HP

*7ATK

*0DEF

"B-But...How?" Papyrus' voice stuttered, his voice uncharacteristically low and nervous sounding. His eye sockets were locked and never leaving that of his brother. It was as if he were afraid that Sans would simply dust away the second he turned away or even blinked.

"W-We could...build a stretcher perhaps? Or- …" Frisk trailed off struggling to help, one hand gently moving to Sans's limp one, and held it. Trying to will some of her DT into him to hang on.

Papyrus thought a moment, before, as gently as he could he pulled Sans arms over his shattered rib cage, tying the sleeves together. Both his hands began glowing intensely with green healing magic as he moved his brother around, ensuring his jacket and shirt with keeping all the bones together, before lifting his sibling up in both arms.

"I-I GOT HIM. I'M GOING UP AHEAD BACK TO THE KING AND LADY TORIEL!" Papyrus said, his body shaking with near grief and worry for his brother. He was fidgeting, not wanting to waste even a second as his brother's life hung on the line. And with that, he took off, Sans in his arms protectively but tightly to ensure he wouldn't drop him.

"W-Wait, Papyrus!" Frisk called, but Paps ignored her as the next instant she heard the sound of a wall exploding and realized he must have summoned a bone to blow open the boulders blocking the Barrier entrance.

"Shit... he's losing it…" Undyne cursed, struggling to stand, wincing as she fell back again to her butt. Alphys and Frisk turned to her helping her stand. Alphys moving below one of Undyne's arms, lifting it onto her shoulder, Frisk moving Flowey to one arm to carry the unconscious flower, and doing the same with the other. Slowly, they helped Undyne to stand as she let out a groan, trying to stifle it by biting into her lip with yellow fangs.

"Th...Thanks…" Undyne said, as soon as she was able to stand, she moved away from them both, forcing herself to stand on her own. Though Alphys stayed hovering nearby to catch the fish monster in case she collapsed. "Come on, we better go after...after him."

"R-Right…" Alphys said as they made their way back out of the Hall and back to camp.

Frisk took one last look behind her, to make sure they wouldn't be followed, before turning back to Alphys and Undyne swallowing and stayed close to them.
