The Psychotic Parasite

SH##, I FORGOT!

Nightmare's eye's widened as he realised.

'SHIT, I FORGOT!'

How could he forget? It was what made Nightmare so cool in his eye's, so how?

How could he forget about controlling emotion's and changing his body?

He could sense that Sans and Papyrus were confused but that doesn't matter right now.

To see how to change emotions he has to test it on someone but he can't use it on Sans or Papyrus because he doesn't know if he will accidentally get rid of their emotions like Killer.

Besides, he doesn't need control someone's emotions right now, so he's going to try the offensive part since he can't really attack that good right now. Well, he has the tentacles but those have a mind of their own and could choose to make it harder for him to control.

He's going to start out easy and try to move one of his fingers onto his other hand, it couldn't be that hard right? He already made a 'rough' tentacle so it couldn't be that hard... Right?

"Sans, is he still outside?"

"He is, br- boss."

'WHY IS THIS SO FUCKING HARD!?'

Currently, he was by the ruins door since no one but sans goes there.

He was able to move one of his fingers  to another hand, but it came with trying to make something bigger that was the problem. He found out that to make something bigger he needs to make more goop from the negative emotions around him, the problem was figuring out how to do that.

He tried everything from moving a ton of goop to one side to torturing a random monster he came across hoping that if he was close enough it would turn the negativity into goop.

It was times like this when he wished that he knew how to control the goop like canon Nightmare.

He decided to stop trying to make himself bigger and try to control emotions instead. You could say he 'rage quit'.

Luckily, he didn't kill that monster he tortured, yet.

'Alright... how do I do that?'

He honestly had no idea.

He had a confused expression, he sensed that it gave the monster hope. And from that hope he had a great idea.

He could start with trying to get rid of that emotion from that monster.

Maybe, he could manipulate his aura?

No, that would only be temporary.

He put his hand to his chin in a thinking position.

Maybe, he co-

One of his tentacles poked him on the face to get his attention.

"𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝗰𝗸 𝗱𝗶𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁?"

As he looked at the tentacles, they made weird shapes and then pointed to his head.

A part of him understood it somehow, though, it was only a small part so, he only understood a bit of it.

"𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗿𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗮𝘆 𝗳𝘂𝗰𝗸?"

The tentacles were visibly disappointed and repeated what they did.

This time he understood a bit more.

"𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼 𝗜 𝗱𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁?"

This time they only repeated a bit of it and then pointed to his head.

"𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗺 𝗜 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗳𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀?"

They only repeated a tiny bit of it.

"𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗺 𝗜 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀?"

This time they did a different signs.

Nightmare got the gist of what they said, basically emotions are held in a part of the soul, he knew it had a name but he didn't understand what it was. He is supposed to understand how to manipulate that part of the soul without any contact with it.

He wanted to try and control that part while touching it first.

Nightmare realised, he didn't know how to take a soul out of a monster that wasn't him.

The tentacles understood that and did a motion and then pointed to the monster's chest.

Nightmare put his hand close to the monster's chest and did the motion.

The motion was like a grabbing one but, it was different as well.

The monster's soul was glowing a bit and Nightmare could sense the monster's emotions better with it close to him.

Nightmare touched the soul with his other hand and could tried make the scared emotion more prominent over the others.

It worked a bit though it only became the second prominent emotion with confusion being on top.

Nightmare had to do a lot of this to get the hang of it, he couldn't imagine how hard it would be without touching it.
