Hours later of UltSans keeping Core Frisk with him, both finished decorating what was going to be Core Frisk's bedroom.

UltSans: "Hey, uhm... Where did you wanted this jar of flowers exactly?.. I forgot."

Core hesitated, and pointed where they want it.

Core: "On the nightstand."

He then walked and placed it as Core told.

UltSans: "I guess you really want a contrast of that gray or no color style, huh?"

Core hesitated, and slowly turned around.

Core: "Yes... That felt... Lifeless... And the more bright the style of my bedroom, the more alive it feels... I feel..."

UltSans hesitated, observing Core while they remain looking down and aside.

Then, Core had a blue outline, their new artificial soul under blue magic, and in an instant, they flied towards UltSans, and he hugged them. Core hesitated, but before they could hug him back, he started carrying them.

UltSans: "Well, how about... A game where you can have as much life as you want? I know a game where you can have that."

Core: "Really? What is it?"

UltSans: "Well, let me show you."

Then, after a while, Core was sitting on a chair on their now expanded and bigger bedroom, playing Minecraft on a console.

Core: "And... What is this game?"

UltSans: "That's Minecraft. A sandbox game where you can do what you want, and the limit is your imagination."

Core: "And... What is a sandbox?"

UltSans: "A game style. But in short, a box full of things you are not told, but have to discover on your own."

Core: "Oh, so I have to discover everything by myself?"

UltSans: "Exactly! Giggles Qué podría malir sal? Verdad?"

UltSans then continued giggling. Core didn't understand what he said, but tried to start a new world, but UltSans prepared the settings before Core could actually play.

After a while, Core was already playing, and UltSans remained observing, but also placing guide books on the shelf aside. As Core continued playing, as obviously, in peaceful mode, not knowing about difficulties at all, UltSans hesitated and stopped to turn a little and observe Core.

After few seconds, he stopped hesitating, but stopped himself when trying to say something, and his expression softened a little, but he quickly closed his eyes and sighed before taking a deep breath.

UltSans: "Well. Here you have multiple guides. As from how to use Redstone to build whatever you want, and other guides. If you want more, I can also add you mods. But I wonder if you'll build first a farm, or what will be... Well... I know you'll surprise me now."

UltSans then moved closer to Core, and hesitated for a few seconds, both stared at each other, and then he grabbed Core's head and kissed the left side of Core's forehead, and then walked away, letting Core to play.

Core hesitated, and started crying for a short moment, before trying to play while couldn't stop the tears.

Meanwhile, in the Omega Timeline, Ink, Dream, and Swap; were still trying to rebuilt everyting, but none could really focus, knowing what happened to Core Frisk.

But they continued trying to fix all of the mess, leaving Error, and the Bad Sanses, more freely to do more as the Star Sanses were very busy now.

But Error was watching UnderNovela, and the Bad Sanses in the castle they live as their house and home, and Dust accidentally burnt the kitchen again.

Back to Core Frisk, after quite a while, they stopped playing to check around. Observing the different rooms of the 'house', but they continued and noticed UltSans sitting in front of the 'computer' in the lab, observing the monitors and the war and timeline Core Frisk lived before becoming Core Frisk.

Core moved closer, slowly but constant with hesitation, trying not to look the monitors and not be affected by the memories. After a moment, they got behind UltSans.

Core: "H-hey, S-sans...?"

UltSans got surprised, and turned to look around and at Core.

UltSans: "Oh, uh uhm, hey...! Uhm... Y qué tal? Te conseguiste un firulais o un mishi?"

Core hesitated, still not understanding when UltSans talked in a different language, so they titled their head slightly to the left.

UltSans: "Oh, yeah... Uhm... 'sup?"

Core: "... Why are you... Watching it... again?..."

UltSans: "Uhm... Well... Just analizing..."

Then, he shutted the monitors down, and got up.

UltSans: "But don't worry, kiddo. And also... I've been thinking about a more proper name for you, you know?"

Core: "But my name is Frisk. That's my name."

UltSans hesitated, his expression darkening and softening, while he also slowly turned to look down and at his right.

UltSans: "Uhm... yeah... About that... I'm not calling you... that... And... Don't call me, Sans..."

Core hesitated, their expression softening while trying to understand but not capable of stop wondering. Without their onmipotence, they couldn't know as before, but they didn't need it to know he was hiding way more than he could handle.

UltSans: "My name is Raziel."

Core: "Oh, that's a very nice name. Is the first time I hear it, is really beautiful."

UltSans: "Yeah, I know. Many humans told me that too. But we'll think one for you, and yes, you'll help me because... I suck at names, and by much."

Core hesitated, not liking the fact of changing their name.

Core: "And instead of a new name, how about... You call me differently?"

UltSans: "Hmm... Well, I guess a nickname can be good enough. Tho, I'm not really sure, but... I guess only time can tell about things. So... Sure, I'll think a nickname to call you. But I still don't like that as name."

Core: "Alright. By the way, what is a... 'firulais'?, or a... 'mishi'?"

Core hesitated in mentioning those names, having difficulty to pronounce them properly, and saying them wrong. UltSans hesitated, but ended giggling as couldn't hold himself.

UltSans: "A 'firulais' is how humans take as a joke to call a dog, and a 'mishi' is for cats. Names random but funny and with no reason, but... I don't understand, but use too."

After a while, and after eating, UltSans got rid of the plates, and let Core on the couch of the living room, and gave them a SoulTablet to use to play the games he developped or use it as they want.

Then, UltSans went upstairs and after going through the hall, entered the last door of the hall as was his bedroom. Core watched, comparing the house with Sans and Papyrus' house, as it was identical in almost everything. From the rooms, how almost everything was placed, except the circular table with the chairs around it in the dinning room, but everything else was identical.

Core hesitated, and used the tablet to see what they could do, but they weren't really interested on it, as they felt alone, somehow despite being given things, they were feeling alone and move behind.

But before they could get up, they noticed a shadow on UltSans' bedroom as the door was wide open. Core then got up, leaving the tablet in the couch, and after a moment of going upstairs and to his bedroom, they peeked to look, and noticed how UltSans was just walking in circles in his bedroom, looking down with his head slightly down, and his arms swinging around as if he couldn't move them, and his movements completely erratic, and his expression serious but completely empty.

Core hesitated, wondering, and after a moment of observing, they moved to be in the middle of the framedoor.

Core: "U-uhm... S-san-Raziel?"

UltSans then stopped, and turned around to look at Core, and completely change behaviour.

UltSans: "Hmm?"

Core hesitated, waiting for UltSans to answer, not just hum at them. So there was a short moment of silence.

UltSans: "What is it?"

Core: "What are you... doing?"

UltSans hesittaed, thinking while looking around with his eyes.

UltSans: "... I don't know."

Core hesitated, but decided to not push further, and slowly started to walk towards him. When they were in front of him, he stared at Core, but Core was hesitant and looking to their left side with their arms in front of their chest.

Core: "Can I... go back home?"

UltSans: "What do you mean?"

Core: "The Omega Timeline. Can you open a portal?"

UltSans hesitated, and after a short moment, he sighed, and then kneeled down. Once kneeling down, he hesitated again, both staring at each other, and he then started patting and caressing Core's hair with his right hand while his left ahnd was on top of his left knee.

UltSans: "I got a better idea. How about I take you to a park? I'm sure there has to be people. If not, I can just take you to a school as kids should be. Even if is not for education or learning anything, is the best way for kids to socialize."

Core: "But I want to go home. I miss my friends, and want to make it better. Even after you... Destroyed all I built... And... Killed those I..."

Core then started sobbing, but before they started crying, UltSans grabbed them by their armpits, and lifted them up to hug them. And then started calming them down, as if he was calming down a baby to relax.

UltSans: "Sshhh... There, there... I know what you mean. All your effort, so easily destroyed... I'm sorry, I know how it feels, but... Some times, if you really love something or someone, you have to let go. That isn;t your place, even if you tried to make it be for others. That wasn't your responsability. You're just a kid, and you shouldn't go through that."

Core continued crying over UltSans shoulder, while he tried to calm them down, babying them. And after a moment, UltSans took them to their bedroom, and placed them on their bed, placing the bed clothes over them, and making sure the pillow is comfortable. UltSans then hesitated before leaving.

UltSans: "Uhm... Good night."

Core: "But I'm not yawn..."

Core then hesitated, wondering why they were tired in so of a sudden.

UltSans: "Well... I think you are. And honestly, after letting yourself go, I think you also let go your mind. Or... Uhm... Well, now I don't even know what I'm talking about. But whatever. Crying and opening yourself made you tired, so sleep. Done."

Then, UltSans started walking to leave, but after a step, he stopped, and after few second, quickly moved and kissed Core's forehead, and then quickly walked out of the bedroom, closing the door behind him.

Core hesitated, but they took a deep breath, and quickly got up to then run to the door. After opening the door, UltSans stopped walking, and turned to look back, observing how Core was walking out of their bedroom.

UltSans: "Huh?..."

Core then moved towards him.

Core: "Bring me to my friends! I don't want to sleep, I'm not tired! I want to rebuilt what you took from me. I don't hate you, but you did terrible things I don't like or let happen, but I also don't want to just live a life I don't see mine."

Core then started sobbing, and UltSans hesitated, his expression of confussion and surprise.

UltSans: "Uhm... Mmm... I... Ehhh... W-well... Sigh You know what? Fine."

UltSans then opened a glitchy portal, and Core quickly went through, and saw how Ink, Dream and Swap were trying to rebuild the Omega Timeline.

Core then got happy to see them, adn quickly ran towards them. Dream noticed the positivity of Core, so he was the first who quickly noticed Core, and saludated Core, and then Swap and Ink heard Dream and noticed too.

Dream: "Frisk! Are you alright? Did you escape them?"

Core didn't answer, but cried while hugged Dream tighly.

UltSans walked through the portal, and Ink focused on him.

Ink: "I told you to not appear here again."

UltSans: "Yeah, sure. And I told the kid was getting to visit, but that comes I come too. So get over it, shitty protectivity of scrap. That at least your color actually show what you mean, protect shit from smelling that bad."

Ink hesitated, not capable of holding himself with UltSans, but Swap placed his left hand over Ink's right shoulder.

Swap: "Well, why not let them for a while, and focus on Frisk? I'm sure it will be better if we think positive."

Ink: "Yeah, sure about that, Swap. For sure is better than bothering myself with them."

Then, Ink and Swap walked towards Dream and Core, both still hugging.

UltSans(Whispering): "Well, I wonder why this plastic costumes always say 'them'. Is not as I look as a girl or anything... But is not as I'm acting femaled either, so... Well, weirdos beign weirdos."

UltSans then yawned while observed around, ignoring Core Frisk saludating Ink and Swap, and hugging both too.

Swap: "Yes, we're happy to see you being alright, Frisk. And don't worry, the Magnificent Sans, will always be happy to see you, and will always miss you."

UltSans: "Pfft. More as the Watered Skeleton by how cyan you look."

Ink hesitated, trying to ignore him, while Dream and Swap easily ignored him, and Core hesitated and sighed but hugged Swap.

Swap: "Don't worry, Frisk. A simple opinion will not take the Magnificent Sans down. Mwe he he!"

Core Frisk then giggled, Dream smiled, but Ink remained staring at UltSans.

Ink: "Well, I think that's enough of you staying. Frisk will go if decides to go. You can wait, from wherever you came from."

Core: "Ink, be nice. If you're nice, others will be nice too."

Ink: "Sorry, Frisk. But being nice is not always possible."

Then, they noticed UltSans reached them and was standing in front of them.

UltSans: "Well, why not you try to make me leave, Protector of shit? Heh, more in literally than meaningful, but well, maybe had to detail it in case your non existent brain didn't got the meaning."

Ink: "Yes, I got it instantly. And yes, I will make you leave if I have to."

UltSans: "Well, then start trying for real."

Swap: "Let's relax for a moment, I, the magnificent Sans, assures there is a better way to solve this. Let's talk, alright, friends?"

Ink: "Swap, I like how you are, but he destroyed the omega Timeline, and killed all those who lived here. Is nothing but a murderer."

UltSans: "Well, whatever you say, shitty protector. Stop shit talking, adn start acting already. This is getting boring."

Swap tried to calm Ink down, Core tried to remain in the middle, and Dream hesitated as wasn't feeling negativity from UltSans but a strange twisted positivity that wasn't pure but contaminated.

After a moment, Ink moved both Swap and Core aside, and grabbed his brush.

Ink: "Forget protect the Omega Timeline. As long as they are alive, they will be a threat to everyone in the multiverse, all the AUs and Timelines. Worse than Error and Nightmare together. We have to take them down for good."

Swap: "Ink, don't you think that's going too far?"

Then, UltSans dashed, and kicked Ink, sending him back, and then moved his hands down, and made bones barely pierce Swap and Dream, but both dodged. And then, the fight continued.

UltSans: "You survived the last round by luck, but this time..."

Then, UltSans' face started melting while hate started leaking from his eyes and mouth, and his eyes started becomign big black circles, and his voice weakening to barely heard.

UltSans: "I WILL MAKE SURE YOU DON'T."

Then, the fight continued. Swap and Dream hesitated, only assisting Ink to survive, but UltSans broke through bones and attacks, and his rush was relentless. None of Swap or Dream wanted this, but Dream was quickly going weaker and weaker, as all the negativity on UltSans was weakening him, and Swap couldn't assist on his own.

Core remained hesitant and trying to process the situation, not knowing what to do, and paralized of fear.

After a moment, UltSans broke Ink's brush in half while Ink was blocking, and then Ink was cut in half with the slash. But then, UltSans continued slashing and tearing Ink apart, before using fire to melt Ink completely.

Ink tried to run away, but UltSans used his fire magic to boil the ink, making Ink melt more and more, until UltSans exploded.

After a short moment, the two broken parts of Ink's brush fell down, and finished melting into ink. Both Swap and Dream hesitated, spechless, but there was only boiled and melted ink in the floor and over UltSans, but UltSans himself was perfectly fine.

UltSans got up, and then, tried to blast Dream, but Swap reacted and covered Dream. But then Swap got pierced, and dusted away, and the blast then blasted Dream while was still weak by the overwhelm pressure of the negativity of UltSans, dusting away too.

After a moment, UltSans cleaned himself, and grabbed Core's left wrist. Core remained spechless, traumatized, and unable to think or react.

But before UltSasn dragged Core through the portal, Core pushed UltSans. Both stopped and stared at each other.

Core: "No! I'm not going with you anymore! I gave you a chance, thinking you were just like Killer, Dust or Horror; Sent by command. Even maybe like Error, and you could change and fix what you have done. BUT YOU KILLED MY FRIENDS AFTER WHAT WE TALKED! YOU ARE A MONSTER!"

Core cried, and UltSans' expression softener, but then his expression darkened and he got angry.

UltSans then took a strong step forward, his left foot making everything shake by the strength, even Core shaked and trambled to remain standing but ended falling back and sitting down.

UltSans: "DO YOU THINK I FUCKING CARE?! I KNOW I'M A MONSTER, BUT FOR YOUR VIEW, I'M NOT A MONSTER, I'M A FUCKING DEMON! I DON'T FUCKING CARE ABOUT THOSE SHIT PLASTIC BITCHES YOU CALL FRIENDS, THEY NEVER WERE YOUR FRIENDS!"

"I TRIED TO CARE, I GAVE YOU THE CHANCE I COULD MAKE MYSELF MAY GIVE TO SOMEONE AFTER CENTURIES OF FUCKING ISOLATION ON THE VOID ON MY OWN! I GAVE YOU THE CHANCE BECAUSE YOU WERE RARE, AND AFTER I UNDERSTOOD, I FELT BAD FOR YOU! AS I FELT BAD FOR THAT BITCH I GAVE A CHANCE BECAUSE SHOWED ME SHE WANTED TO REDEMPT HERSELF, BUT SHE BETRAYED ME! AND SO YOU ARE TOO!"

"DO YOU THINK I WANT THIS? OF COURSE NOT, I DON'T, BUT THIS IS HOW EVERYTHING GET SOLVED, YES OR YES! NOT WITH YOUR FUCKING SHIT OF BEING NICE, BECAUSE THAT ONLY GOT ME DRAGGED TO HUMANS' GAME, WHERE THEY PLAYED HELL AND TORTURED ME FOR DECADES, UNTIL THEY CONSUMED EVERYTHING I HAD!"

"I KNOW YOU LIVED A WAR, BUT I FOUGHT A HELLISH TORTURE FOR DECADES, AND THEN FOR CENTURIES, ALL CONSTANTLY AND IN DIFFERENT WAYS THAN LITERALLY! AND FOR MUCH YOU SAY SHIT! I AIN'T CARING!"

"MY FEELINGS, MY SOUL, WHO I WAS, EVERYTHING! WAS TOOK OUT FROM ME, AND I'M NOT GOING TO ACCEPT BECAUSE YOU WANT TO BE A BITCH, YOU THINK CAN JUST DO AS YOU WANT!"

"UNLIKE YOUR FAKE FRIENDS! I BROUGHT YOU BACK TO LIFE, AS THEY SHOULD HAVE DONE BUT DIDN'T! AND I'M NOT LETTING YOU BEING HERE ANYMORE, BECAUSE YOU ARE JUST A FUCKING KID! AND NONE OF THIS SHOULD BE RELATED TO YOU, FUCK!"

There was a moment of silence, Core speechless, while UltSans was catching his breath and tears falling from his eyes.

UltSans: "You want me to call you 'Frisk'? Fine! I'll treat you as that bitch then! Because that;s how she is, a fucking bitch! You want that, huh?! DO YOU WANT ME TO TREAT YOU LIKE THAT?!?"

Core hesitated, and then closed their eyes, but then, UltSans moved, grabbing Core's neck and smashing them to the ground. Core opened their eyes, and then saw it.

UltSans was holding their neck with his left hand, but from his face, hate was leaking, slowly covering his skin. Then, sudden jumpscares appeared of everything being pure darkness with melting grin genocidal faces appearing.

After the first jumpscare, tentacles pierced through UltSans' back.

After the second jumpscare, UltSans' melted more and was more covered.

After the third jumpscare, UltSans' chest was torn apart, and his ribs were exposed.

After the fourth jumpscare, UltSans' jaw broke adn his mouth was wide open, his skin was full covered in hate, and his chest cage and bones of all his body were exposed.

After the fifth jumpscare, red strings were piercing through UltSans' arms, torso, neck, and legs; and chains were burning his body while surrounding his arms, neck, and legs.

Core then closed their eyes and started crying and begging, the memories of when Sans dropped them in the core appeared in their head.

Core: "SANS, PLEASE DON'T DO IT! PLEASE! I'M BEGGING YOU! STOP!"

Nothing happened for a while, until suddenly, they were hugged. UltSans was normal again, and was carrying Core Frisk, hugging them. His right hand and arm for Core to sit on it, and his left hand and arm behind Core to hold them and pat their back and the back of their head and hair.

UltSans: "See why you can't stay?... I... Let's just go... I'll give you a new life, alright? Something away from all of this... All related to this..."

Then, UltSans went through the portal, and it closed behind him. In the other side, UltSans placed this time on his bed to sleep with him, making sure they were comfortable.

Core was clinging onto UltSans, and he kissed their forehead.

UltSans(Whispering): "Tomorrow... Your new life starts... And forget everything you lived. This is your home now... Rest well..."
