18TH STAR CONSTELLATION: [ ̶H̶]ATE/BLACK SOUL [FOUR]

CHAPTER 49: THE AFTERMATH

As soon as Sephas told Papyrus to call Gaster by running out of the house, Shyness is on the streets crawling while being invisible.

Shyness: Bwah. Bwah.

Meanwhile, with Papyrus.

Papyrus' POV

SLAM!

I slammed the door open and call out Gaster.

Papyrus: DAD! WE'RE BEING ATTACK BY SOMETHING!

Gaster is on the couch, sleeping, but woke up because of me.

Gaster: Papyrus, what is it this time?

Papyrus: SEPHAS TOLD ME TO CALL YOU! ABOUT A GLITCH THAT STARTED TO APPEAR IN HIS HOUSE!

Gaster's POV

No... it can't be.

Gaster: What happened?

Papyrus:  THE GLITCH STARTED, AND SEPHAS ALSO GLITCHED OUT WHILE I WAS RUNNING AWAY FROM THE HOUSE, THEN WHOLE STARTED TO GLITCHED TOO!

Hmm, this is more severe than I thought.

Wait, Sephas glitched out?

Gaster: That damn fool. He used his ability.

Papyrus: WHAT ABILITY?

Gaster: It's nothing. I'm just going to get my device.

Papyrus: OKAY!

I walked out of the room.

Gaster: Sephas, you damn idiot. Glitching out of universe is one way to disappear from reality. And as a side effect, the people who knows you might forget you now.

Gaster: Augh!

I'm on my knees because the memory eraser process is starting.

Gaster: Tsk. It's already starting. I hope you chose your options wisely, Sephas.

Timeskip to all the Undertale gangs are together (Excluding Sans because he's dead, Mettaton because he's still getting fixed, Asgore is dead because Toriel killed him when Betty is tricking her, and that's pretty much it)

Gaster: Alright, I gathered you all here today because something happened.

Toriel: Oh my, what happened?

Chara: Probably something irrelevant.

Asriel: Chara, I think this is important because Gaster called a meeting with us.

Chara: Alright big G, lay it out on us.

Gaster: *Cough* As I was saying... the glitches started to appeared a few days ago when Frolic reset the timeline once. Only once.

Chara: Wait! Somebody can reset?! Why didn't you tell me!?

Gaster: Because you're busy taking care of Sephas' baby, Shyness.

Toriel: Wait, who is Sephas? I know Shyness, but I don't know who that person is.

So it already has begun, huh?

Chara: What do you mean, mom? You met Sephas before, right?

Toriel: No, I don't remember.

Papyrus: ME TOO. DID MY MEMORY FAILED ME, THE GREAT PAPYRUS?!

Gaster: No, Papyrus. Also, please wait for a while. I'm going to speak to Chara and Asriel.

I grab Asriel's and Chara's hand go to the other room.

I let go of them.

Chara: So... what happened, doctor?

Asriel: Yeah, why doesn't anyone remember Sephas?

Gaster: ...Chara, do you remember Frisk?

Chara: Yeah.

Asriel: Who?

I ignored Asriel and continue to talk to Chara.

Gaster: That's what happened. He glitched out of our reality.

Chara: So... he's technically gone.

Gaster: Yes.

Asriel is confused on what's happening, but I still ignored him.

Asriel: Umm, what's happening?

Gaster: Ghuk!

Chara: Gaster, you okay?

Gaster: I-I'm fine. Don't worry about me.

%^&^%$#%^100%_memory_erasure_completed*&%^&^%

It's already finished its memory erasure.

Looks like only me and Chara remembers Sephas now.

Asriel: Guys, what are we talking about again?

Chara: Our friend, Sephas.

Asriel: Who?

Chara: ...Never mind.

Gaster: Come on. Let's talk to the others now.

Chara/Asriel: Sure./Okay!

We moved on to the next room and discuss about the glitch.

Timeskip when meeting is over

Papyrus: AUGH! I FORGOT SOMETHING!

Gaster: What is it?

Papyrus: THE BABY IS GONE!

Toriel: What?!

I just pinch the bridge of nose... I mean, my nonexistent nose.

Sephas... even death, you are still giving us a bad time.

Gaster: Where did you last saw the baby?

Papyrus: THE HOUSE! AND FOR SOME REASON, I'M FORGETTING SOMETHING.

Asriel: Come on, we gotta find the baby before you know who!

Chara just nodded.

Gaster: You guys go ahead, I'll catch up to you guys later.

Everyone nodded at that, then they left.

Gaster: *Sigh* What am I supposed to do now, Sans?

For a second there, I thought I heard a pun, but it was nothing.

Gaster: I'll prepare my devices in the meantime.
