[Start Chapter]

Alphys sat at her desk, smiling shyly and shrinking a bit in the chair. "I-It's still j-just a work in progress, b-but I hope you like it- I mean! I hope you can test it a-and see if it's efficient!" She stuttered into the communication device, -it was sphere-shaped and transparent, made from glass and powered by a magic stone, much like any other magic device- In it was reflected the image of the person she was communicating with. A blue fish lady Monster's face could be seen on the other side.

"S-so Undyne, Y-you can c-come pick it up today... i-if you're free." Alphys informed while nervously fidgeting with her fingers.

The fish lady grinned widely. "Cool! As expected from the royal scientist! I can't wait to try out that magic spear! Sounds like an amazing invention!"

Alphys blushed slightly at hearing those words. "S-summoning magic attacks all the time can tire a Monster's magic faster, so this way, even with low magic Monsters could still fight with a magic weapon." She adjusted her glasses while explaining with her usual professionalism, but her stuttering soon came back, "O-of course in y-your case that's not a problem at all! I'm n-not saying y-you need something like that! I'm j-just trusting you to t-test it."

"That's right! Magic weapons are for wimpy Monsters!" Undyne said as she puffed out her chest and punched her armour to prove ther toughness, "I don't need something like that." She grinned.

"I'm only testing it for you since that is the duty of a knight. But, a magic spear made from a Beast Core, man that sounds badass! The design also looked cool! I can already see myself beating up some Beast asses with it!" She said while throwing punches at the air in excitement, there was the sound of something breaking, but it was ignored.

'Cute.' Alphys chuckled as she listened to the excited Undyne. But her thoughts were interrupted when, out of the corner of her eyes she saw a blur of colors suddenly appear. She moved her eyes away from the communication device, only for her face to change in shock. "What the hell...?"

Bliss had just teleported in front of her holding the unconscious Sans by the hood.

He stood there staring at her with all the calmness, not really caring about her reaction. Well the Sans already caught him using magic so there was no point hiding it now.

Alphys abruptly stood up from her chair after seeing them.

"Alphys? What's wrong?" Undyne asked after seeing the scientist's sudden reaction.

Alphys turned back to her, "N-nothing! Something came up! Work! I gotta go!"

Undyne understood that the royal scientist was busy right now, "Then I'll come over later-" She interrupted herself and turned her head to the side as if she was talking to someone next to her "WHAT?! What do you mean there was an explosion?!! Where?!-" Undyne yelled before ending the call in a hurry.

Alphys looked at the communication device in confusion for a moment, before she hurriedly walked over to Bliss and Sans. She then could see better Sans' condition, he had a few bruises and scratches on his skull and his shirt covered in blood, although she couldn't tell the extent of the wounds, because of his clothes, but it didn't seem to be life-threatening seeing as Sans was breathing just fine and probably just fainted. She decided to take a better look at the wounds after moving him to a room to heal him.

'What exactly happened?' She thought to herself as she turned to look at the Skeleton child. Only at that moment did she noticed something that really shocked her, the collar around Bliss' neck was broken. But, that shouldn't be possible...

She shook her head deciding to think about that later, first she needs to treat Sans' wounds. Alphys didn't have healing magic -healers specialize in that kind of magic- but she had healing potions in her lab, which were as effective since they were made from healing magic of course - Monster food also had healing properties but it worked much slower than healing magic.

Alphys carefully put Sans' arm around the back of her neck and began to drag him toward a room to treat his wounds. She glanced behind at Bliss, thinking that she would have to carry the child after.

But to her surprise, Bliss began walking and followed after them. She watched in shock as the small baby took a few steps, 'Wait, isn't he way too young to start walking already-' her thought was interrupted when she saw the child fall face first on the floor.

"..."

Alphys held in her urge to laugh, 'Don't laugh, don't laugh, don't laugh! Sans is injured! This is serious!' She repeated in her head, while dragging Sans across the floor to a near room. Trying her best to not laugh and squeal at the cute scene she just witnessed. But couldn't hold back a small smile.

She didn't understand why, but she felt the sudden urge to dress the babybones in cute dresses and ribbons and take a bunch of pictures. Cute things are the best. Alphys mentality nodded.

'Curse this small useless body...' Bliss growled, his face still planted on the floor.

In the end Bliss got up on his small feet and tried again, refusing to admit defeat.

_______________________________________

Sans opened his eye sockets, looking up at the ceiling he blinked a couple of times in confusion, before memories of what had happened flashed through his mind. His eyes widened and he shot up, 'The kid!-' But the moment he sat up, the first thing he saw was Bliss in front off him staring at him with the usual expressionless face, sitting on the other side of the bed. He let out a sigh of relief, seeing that the kid was fine.

Sans looked at his surroundings. He recognized that he was in Alphys' labs, in one of the rooms.

Sans tried to get up but felt a sharp pain in his ribs and looked down only to see that his ribcage was wrapped in bandages, and so were his arms, aaaand his skull too. So this is how mummies feel huh, now he knows.

Alphys entered the room and saw Sans awake. "I already informed Papyrus that you and Bliss are at my place." She said while walking over to them.

"What happened? Why are we here?" Sans asked her.

"That's what I would like to know." Alphys walked over and sat on a chair next to the bed. "Out of nowhere, Bliss teleported with you to my lab. And you were very injured."

"...What?" Sans looked at Bliss in shock.
'The kid teleported us here?' Well he wasn't exactly surprised about the kid teleporting, since the kid seemed to really like teleporting away. What amazed him was that Bliss teleported with him, away from a dangerous situation and to a familiar place. Maybe instinct? 'No wait, first of all how did the kid get away from the Wolves by himself?!'

Sans' thoughts were interrupted by Alphys, "How about you tell me exactly what happened. So we can better understand the situation."

Sans rubbed his skull, recalling the event, and told the scientist what had happened, about the kid being taken away by a kidnapper, the fight with the Wolves and he creating a wall of bones to protect the kid before being knocked out. "-I don't know what happened after that..." Just as Sans finished explaining, he seemed to faintly remember something else, - While being attacked by some Wolves, he had created wall of bones to protect the kid, but not a minute later that same wall was suddenly crushed, small pieces of broken bones falling to the ground from the babybones' small hands as his mismatched eye lights glowed with a cold glint, unlike the usual emotionless eyes. - At the moment Sans didn't pay it much attention to it especially because he had other things in his mind, you know like protecting the kid and, well, not dying. So he had simply created another wall of bones. But now that he thought back to that moment...

Sans glanced at Bliss, the babybones stared back like an innocent looking doll, the cute dress wasn't helping either. 'It must have been just my imagination.'

"You might want the hear the news."

Sans snapped out of his thoughts and looked at Alphys. "What news?"

"Apparently, a giant explosion happened not very far away from the festival. Because of that, the festival was canceled for today while the Royal knights investigate what happened." She began explaining. She had heard about it from Undyne when the fish Monster came for the magic spear, while Sans was unconscious in the room. And Alphys immediately concluded it had something to do with these two showing up hurt in her lab. "They also found Monster dust and some traces of bone attacks. So it's possible that you and your brother will be called to the Castle for questioning later. I'm guessing that was the same place where you fought those kidnappers."

"Yeah, but I didn't dust any of them, much less create an explosion." Sans said with a confused frown, but his confusion was soon replaced by worry as a thought came to mind.

"Which only leaves us one possible explanation." Alphys said as she turned to look at the Skeleton child.

Sans also looked at the babybones.

Bliss averted his eyes. He ended up causing a big commotion afterall.

Sans raised a -non-existent- eyebrow. "You are saying that Bliss, a baby, killed all those Monsters?" Although Sans had reached the same conclusion as her, he had to admit that a baby killing a gang of Wolves sounded a bit absurd, no actually it sounded very absurd.

Looking at the kid's emotionless looking face, two mismatched eye lights stared at Sans like it was staring into his SOUL. Sans suddenly felt that it didn't sound so absurd afterall...

"It's a possibility. After hearing about the explosion, at first I did suspect it had something to do with you showing up all beaten up."

"All beaten up... You make it sound like I'm some poor guy that was bullied by a gang of robbers." Sans pointed out, not liking the sound of it. It kind of felt like he was being called weak to his face. If it weren't for the fact that he was focusing on protecting the kid, there was no way he would lose so easily to those guys. Also he was outnumbered, it was an unfair fight from the beginning.

Alphys pretend not to hear him and kept talking, "And after what you told me, I can't find another explanation." Not to mention the timing of the explosion and Bliss teleporting here, was just too big of a coincidence. "Plus we already know Bliss has a lot of magic, and since the magic-restraint is broken there is nothing stopping his magic from acting out of control." She said while looking at the broken collar around the Bliss' neck, the blue magic stone on it was broken in half and had become completely useless.

Sans looked at Bliss, only now noticing the broken collar, which meant there was nothing restricting the kid's magic. -not like the magic-restraint was doing a good job in the first place, since Bliss kept using teleportation even with the collar on- If the kid really was the one who dusted those Wolves, it could have been something like instinct. Afterall a Monster's magic is known to react to their emotions, especially strong emotions such as fear for example. - Just like how Bliss had cried and teleported away on their first meeting - Not to mention children were more moved by instinct and emotions than rational adults. So it's very possible that in the face of danger the kid's magic activated in self defense, he probably doesn't even understand what he did. But still, Bliss wasn't even one year old yet. Sans wasn't sure if he should be grateful or scared...

Sans sighed, "I think it's already very clear that Bliss is not a normal kid." He said with a shrug, he was already tired of getting shocked by this kid every time.

"Oh there's more." Alphys pointed out, she still had a few more shocking news for the poor Skeleton. "You know, a magic-restraint doesn't break on its own. For it to break, that would mean the user's level of magic surpasses the magic-restraint's capacity."

Sans nodded at her words, already knowing that fact. And he wasn't really surprised since the kid had already made it pretty obvious that the collar was useless against his magic.

Then Alphys' face became serious. "Sans, this collar's capacity wasn't low. Bliss' magic level wasn't that high when we scanned his SOUL last time."

The collar they gave Bliss was an old model, which meant it wasn't as refined as the more modern ones. Magic-restraints had more than one purpose, and one of those purposes was to restrict dangerous Monsters or criminals. Although now a days those two types of magic-restraints are more different, those for children have a lower capacity since children don't have that much magic in comparison with adults, and the ones for criminals have with a higher capacity -also having in mind that criminals usually gain EXP and LV which raised their level of magic- but a few years ago the magic-restraints all were basically made the same way except for the exterior -since those for children were made in the shape of pretty ornaments.

Sans frowned, "How high are we talking about?" He asked worried.

Alphys hesitated for a bit before answering honestly, "Possibly higher than mine or yours."

"Wait what?!" Sans looked the kid in shock. He knew Bliss had a lot of magic but isn't that a little too much for a baby?

The babybones blinked innocently at their staring.

Bliss was just casually sitting there, listening to them, since they didn't seem to care about his presence. He mentality hummed. They had already been wary of him from the start, that was the reason they put the choker on him to restrict his magic and to keep him under control, but he ended up breaking the choker earlier than expected, oh right and he also killed some Monsters, so he figured he blew his cover. 'Now that I killed people, will they finally call Ink?' If that happens, Bliss can just take the chance to try and kill that damn creator. He had managed to get some of his magic back, although it was very weak. Perhaps he could still manage to cut off Ink's head with a sharp bone and a surprise teleportation from behind, similar to how he did in that last battle against the blind judges. Since now Bliss doesn't glitch, his presence might not be so easily noticed and Ink might not be able dodged this time.

Bliss began making plans, not paying attention to the rest of their conversation.

Alphys decided to share some good news too, feeling a bit bad for her shocked friend, "Well on the bright side, Bliss definitely has no problem controlling his magic, and there's also a high possibility his magic surpasses that of a normal grown up Monster." Although that last part wasn't necessarily good news...

"What I mean to say is," She layed her back on the chair while crossing her arms, "Congratulations Sans, your nephew is probably the most powerful child in Monster history."

Sans could only stare at her dumbfounded.

Alphys decided to stop there, although there was one another thing bothering her, but she decided not to say it outloud since she wasn't sure, but... Bliss magic was definitely growing rapidly, faster than a normal Boss Monster child even. While Bliss' origin was unknown, he appeared to be something similar to a Boss Monster, although it didn't match some of the characteristics. But here's the things about Boss Monsters, when they have an offspring, the SOUL power of the parents flows into the child, causing the child to grow as the parents age. -if they don't have offsprings they don't age, and can probably live forever- But Bliss' real parents should be dead, right? So... where exactly was Bliss' magic coming from?... What if the parent were still alive out there somewhere? The person that had left the child at the Skeleton brothers door. A monster that gave birth to such an absurd child...

Alphys felt a shiver down her spine. It was possible a calamity might fall upon the Monster Kingdom if something were to happen to this child...

Unaware of what was going inside Alphys' head, Sans was lost in his own thoughts. He frowned, 'If that's true then that would mean...'

Bliss noticed the Sans and Alphys both frowning, they were probably angry or disgusted. Bliss had expected as much, everyone always looked at him with hatred and disgust. Although the Sans and the Papyrus claimed to be his family, in the end it was only a matter of time before they too hated him. Like everyone else.

'Very interesting.'

Bliss flinched as he heard the voice, but it wasn't like the voices in his head, it came from next to him and was unpleasantly familiar.

He looked towards the voice, only to see the Gaster floating there. 'Not you again...' he looked away from the forgotten Skeleton, deciding to ignore him again.

'This child's magic level keeps growing by the second. Where does all that magic come from? If only I could run some tests on him and find the source... that source of magic could be a great discovery for the Kingdom.' Gaster slowly approached the Skeleton child with interest, he really wanted to take a look at this kid's SOUL.

'...Stay away from me.' Bliss mentality asked, slightly moving away from the approaching ghostly Skeleton. But it kept coming closer... Oh how Bliss wished he could get rid of it permanently, but unfortunately he cannot kill something that technically no longer existed in this world.

When Bliss noticed, he had already crawled all the way to Sans' side. Fortunately the Gaster didn't come any closer. For whatever reason, this Sans was like Gaster repellent, very convenient.

Sans' frown lessened a little after seeing Bliss crawling to him and sitting next to him. Sans was happy to see the kid finally recognize them as family.

Alphys looked at the frowning Sans, she understood what he was worried about. "If they find out about this-"

Sans' face darkened once again at her words.

Alphys sighed seeing how worried her friend was. "Calm down. I may work under the King but my work if for the benefit of whole kingdom. I don't care about these political conflicts and power struggle." She tried to reassure him.

Sans didn't doubt her in the first place, they had been friends for a long time, so he knew what kind of person she was. What worried him was that the King had eyes everywhere, and so did the Guild. What if they already knew about it? "If they find out the kid was the one who killed those Monsters..."

"It was self defense. And Bliss obviously doesn't even understand what he did. Who can blame a baby?" Alphys pointed out the facts, "Although what they can do, is use their authority and power to take him away from you and Papyrus. Under the pretext that you two can't handle this child. So you should be careful not to give them any chances to do that."

"I will do my best to protect Bliss." Sans declared with a serious face. The kid was now family and he wasn't planning to let him become someone else's tool or be used like some kind of weapon by some greedy bastards.

Bliss flinched and looked up at Sans with widened eyes. He did not expect to hear something that, not after he mercilessly murdered a bunch of Monsters.

Bliss blinked in surprise, before he eyed the Sans up and down. He then turned away with half lifted eyes. '...Look at yourself first and tell me again, who exactly needs to protect who?' The Sans was covered in bandages, although he was mostly healed now, Sans was lucky he had more than 1HP unlike most Sanses or he'd be already dead. Still, Bliss couldn't deny that he felt a bit moved by the Sans' statement. He felt a tingling in his SOUL, it seemed to be happening very frequently these days... he wasn't complaining though.

He was thankful that they had not turned against him or threw him away after having found out he was a disgusting murderer. They didn't seem to mind, and instead decided to keep staying by his side even still, just like the gang. That thought brought warmth to his SOUL.

Alphys nodded at Sans' determination, and got up from the chair, they were already done talking and she decided to let him rest a bit more. She also had her own work to do.

She walked towards the door, but then stopped and turning around, "Oh, by the way, your brother is waiting outside."

Sans flinched, "What? Wait tell him not to come in yet-" and Alphys had already left...

Sans shot out of the bed ignoring the pain and removed the bandages, only leaving the bandages on his ribs and spine, that were soon hidden as he dressed back his shirt. He was already healed anyways and he didn't want Papyrus to get worried for nothing.

At that exactly moment, the door was slammed open and Papyrus ran inside. "Sans! Bliss!"

The taller Skeleton walked to them in a hurry, "I was so worried! I heard there was an explosion and I couldn't find you two!" He pulled Bliss into a hug, rubbing his cheek against the babybones' skull.

Bliss, somewhat already used to the Papyrus' hugging habbits, welcomed it. It felt warm and didn't hurt, even Nightmare's and the gang's hugs hurt... - Well in their defense, Bliss didn't make it any easier, as the destroyer would instinctively dodged a hug like it was an attack. It wasn't his fault though, his body and SOUL had already learned long ago that any kind physical contact would bring him only pain and suffering. So the gang had to literally trap him in place so they could get a hug, so yeah it was basically a fight, a very fierce one at that as they were up against the destroyer and rarely succeeded. - But after being forced to be carried around in the Skeleton brother's arms for so long, unable to escape it, apparently his magic stopped treating it as a threat since they never once brought him pain, and it was actually very nice and calming. Bliss didn't notice as he unconsciously burried his face into the Papyrus' chest seeking more of this warm feeling.

Bliss didn't hate it here in this AU, he actually didn't mind staying a bit longer before leaving when he gets back most of his magic- he stopped his thoughts from going any further, as reality hit him, the Multiverse... when the Multiverse collapses these two will die, along with the entire AU.

"...Shit." Bliss said while still lost in thought.

He wasn't supposed to care about the Skeleton brothers, that was exactly what he was trying to avoid. Well too damn fucking late now. How could he possibly not get attached when these two brothers kept acting like this and being nice to him? Damnit! Bliss' face became serious, '...Should I go back to destroying?' No, he refused to become Fate's puppet again. But destroying AUs didn't necessarily mean he would become their puppet.

Bliss didn't plan on making the same mistakes again, Fate didn't have any control over him anymore, so there was no reason to follow their rules. 'If I kill Ink so he can't create anymore and destroy a few AUS...' Yes, that should be enough to prevent the Multiverse from collapsing. He can still get his revenge on Ink by killing him, and this time Fate couldn't do anything to stop him since he now was fate-free. Bliss couldn't care less about the blind judges.

There was just one little problem...

Bliss hoped the Multiverse didn't reach it's limit just yet, not until he had at least enough of his magic back. So he could kill the damn creator and keep his new family safe.

Papyrus looked at the baby in his arms in shock. 'Did Bliss just... swear?'

Sans was also shocked, he had always been careful not to swear in front of the kid, so 'Where did he heard that from-?' Sans' face paled as he seemed to remember something. He felt cold sweat rolling down his skull. 'Don't tell me the kid actually heard that...'

"...Sans." Papyrus' face darkened as he turned to look at his brother.

Sans flinched at his brother's cold voice, he was already sweating buckets.

"Bliss' first word..." Papyrus' eye lights glowed angrily as he glared at his brother like he was about to murder him, "I can't believe his very first word was 'shit'!"

Sans jerked away, 'Uh-oh...' The only times Papyrus ever curses is when he is very very very mad.

Sans gulped, he hasn't seen Papyrus this mad since that time - Funny story. Not very long after Sans had became an adventurer, he was almost beaten up to death by a bunch of drunk guards because of the constant conflict between the King and the Guild. So anyways, Papyrus that was looking for Sans saw that, and he got so mad he basically awakened his hidden power and ended up beating up those drunk guards. It was a pretty cool fight and Sans would probably have enjoyed watching it while eating popcorn if he weren't in great pain at the moment. Also, the captain of the Royal Knights who happened to be passing by at the time saw Papyrus' potential and that's how he was recruited in the Royal knights. The end. - And that was way back when the were younger. You wouldn't want to face an angry grown up Papyrus.

'Come to think of it, those kidnappers also cursed a lot... in front of the kid...' Sans felt a shiver down his spine, 'Nope,nope,nope,nope. I better go to Grillby's and wait for the storm to pass.' He decided to escape while he can, taking a step back, ready to teleport away. He just hopped then kid didn't decide to repeat every 'bad words' he heard in front of Papyrus. On the bright side, Bliss was already learning how to speak, yay? And at such a young age, the kid might be a genius. Sans mentality changed the subject, pushing the guilty conscience away.

Papyrus was so mad, but mostly disappointed really. He looked at the babybones in his arms a with a sad expression, but felt a little better after seeing the cute child peacefully resting in his embrace.

Papyrus had hoped that Bliss' first word would be 'daddy' or 'papa' but now that was an impossible dream, all thanks to this damn brother of his. He turned to glare at his brother again, only to see Sans teleporting away.

"SAAAAANS!!"

The forgotten Gaster was still watching them from the side, amused. He had decided to keep watching the Skeleton family, since this child was basically his grandson.

________________________________________

Later that day, at the Skeleton brothers' house, the storm did pass, but... ketchup was banned for a full month.

At that exact moment, in the living room, Papyrus was still scolding Sans, and wasn't planning on stopping any time soon seeing as how disappointed he was.

This was probably the longest scolding a Sans even received from a Papyrus, in Undertale and/or Alternatives History.

Bliss just there, casually leaning on the coffee table next to the sofa, silently watching them, like he was watching Undernovela, while wondering what the Sans did this time to anger the Papyrus.

The coffee table reached his upper ribs, and he was resting his folded arms on the table, while his chin rested on his arms. He was lost in thought.

Now, Bliss was never a big talker, but he had to admit that in a situation such as this, communication was essential for gathering information, rather than just observing like Bliss had been doing up until now, wouldn't it be more effective and simpler to just ask around? Ask about the situation of the Multiverse and such? -This was an original after all, so they should at least know something- Especially now that his suspicion of the Skeleton brothers had lessened considerably. - Although not completely, he had learned the hard way to never fully trust someone, and it carved into his subconscience. But not trusting didn't meant he would care less or stop protecting them just because of the possibility of being back stabbed. Not like he could die anyways, even if they kept stabbing him a hundred times.

But there was just little problem...

Bliss had noticed that, just like walking, talking became an inability, or rather, it became annoyingly hard for him to do. The words came out wrong and some almost incomprehensible, not to mention some letters were very hard to pronounce, especially the 'R's and 'L's were a struggle...

Well, at least it wasn't as bad as those times his voice glitched so much to the point where his words became numbers and symbols, mixed with loud static, making it extremely hard or even impossible understand.

Nevertheless, his speech will never improve if he doesn't put effort into it and practice a bit, - It was just like learning Spanish all over again.

Bliss decided it was about time he tried to actually start a conversation with the Skeleton brothers. So with that in mind, he proceeded to call their attention, by calling the still loud Papyrus.

"Papi-... Papyw-..." Bliss frowned, '...Damnit, why is it so hard to say Papyrus?'

After hearing that, Papyrus turned his head around with a gasp, his eyes sparkling as he looked at Bliss.

Papyrus grabbed Sans' shoulders and began shaking him repeatedly, while still staring at the babybones with wide open eyes. "Sans! Sans! Bliss called me papa!" He shouted with a bright and happy smile.

As if Papyrus had already forgotten that he was in the middle of scolding Sans. No, rather, he lost his reason to keep scolding after hearing the babybones call him 'papa'. - If you exclude swear words, which by the way shouldn't even count as words and should actually be illegal -somehow, after the incident, Papyrus began to hate swear words more then he already did-, so technically, Bliss' first words was 'papa'!

Sans, that was currently being pulled and pushed back and forth by his very excited brother, didn't hesitate to correct him. "Actually, he called you 'papy'." He pointed out, he was beginning to feel a bit dizzy.

"It's close enough!" Papyrus shouted as he let go of Sans and ran towards the babybones, with sparkling eyes.

Since Papyrus had suddenly let go of Sans in the middle swinging him backwards, Sans lost his balance and ended up falling on his back, inwardly cursing as his spine hit the floor.

While Bliss was busy cursing his useless selft, suddenly Papyrus appeared in front of him. It was so sudden, Bliss nearly thought it was an attack. He had to stop his magic from acting on instinct after noticing it was his Papyrus.

"Bliss! Say it again!" The tall Skeleton asked with an excited smile.

Bliss blinked a few times, then he tilted his head. "...Papy?" He repeated.

Papyrus expression brightened more.

This was certainly not the result Bliss was expecting, but it worked too. Since apparently 'Papyrus' was a too hard for him to say right now, he didn't see anything wrong with shortening the name. It was all the same to him.

At some point, Sans had also walked to them and was currently next to Papyrus, looking at the kid with a grin.

"Hey kid, say uncle." He asked while pointing to himself. "Uncle."

Bliss stared at him blankly but decided to just do what he was asked, he needed to practice communication anyways. Also, although he didn't care much about names, he obviously couldn't keep calling them 'the Sans' and 'the Papyrus', there were thousands of Sanses and Papyruses, so he needed nicknames for these two.

He nodded to himself, before looking up at the Sans and opened his mouth.

"Awnku."

Bliss felt a sudden urge to throw himself against the wall behind him. But stopped himself from doing so, it would be rude to destroy the house when they were kind enough to let him stay here for free.

Sans and Papyrus SOULs melted at the adorableness.

"Un-cle." Sans repeated slower this time.

Bliss mentality sighed, okay sure, lets try it again, with enough practice he will eventually get it right. - just like how he eventually learned to fight while blind, thanks to Ink throwing red paint at his eye sockets so many times. - So once again.

"An-ku."

Sans held in a snort and repeated again this time even slower, "Un--cle."

"Awn--kuw."

"Un----cle."

"...Unkuw" Bliss was starting to get annoyed.

"Cle, Un---cle." Sans could barely contain his laughter.

"... kiw ankuw." Bliss said, his eyes had a cold glint as a shadow grew over his expressionless face.

The cute baby voice suddenly sounded very cold, and the sound of the coffee table cracking under the pressure of his small hands filled the room.

Sans felt a chill down his already hurt spine. Looking at the angry babybones, Sans suddenly felt that he probably shouldn't be teasing a kid that has a crazy high level of magic and that may or may not have murderer a pack of Wolf Monsters. Especially considering that Bliss' magic acts on its own according to his emotions...

"Sans, you are making him upset! Bliss can't pronounce some letters yet." Papyrus scolded his brother when he saw the babybones get mad, although he himself was also enjoying it very much... And was being very obvious while holding a recording device in his hands.

As Papyrus looked at the cracked wood in thought. He should probably buy a new less fragile coffee table. What if the babybones were to get hurt when it breaks down? Or get cut by sharp pieces of broken wood?

Papyrus had decided not to pay attention to the fact that Bliss easily crushed wood with his small hands. He had already seen the babybones rip off metal with his jaws after all. But that was probably normal for a growing baby, right? It would be nice if Papyrus could join in parent conversations with other parents and ask for advices. -Although he already borrowed a book about parenting from the public library, he believed asking someone with actually experience would be better.

Seeing as the Sans finally stopped forcing him to repeat the same word over again, Bliss now could finally start throwing some questions at them.

Sure his pronunciation was shit, but seemed understandable enough? Compared to his old glitched voice that is.

Still, he decided to keep it simple. Simple and short.

Bliss looked at them and opened his mouth. "Du uh kno Abuh deh mutiwewse..."

The two brothers stared at him in silence.

"Deh mutiwewse... ow Dih deh cwetow wihit?"

Papyrus simply blinked and smiled at the cute babbling. Slowly raising the recording device in his hands once again.

Sans, on the other hand, seemed to be interested in the babbling that almost, almost sounded like actually sentences. The kid was sure learning fast huh, in no time he will surely be able to speak actually words that actually exist. The kid was a genius no doubt, Sans felt like a proud uncle.

As Bliss kept 'talking', the two Skeleton brothers just kept silently staring at him. No response at all. Perhaps the inhabitants of this AU weren't even aware of the Multiverse? It made sense, since this is such a young AU, not to mention with the Destroyer 'dead' what is the point of informing newborn AUs about the Multiverse crisis? So that means, they've got no information.

"Fuhin demmet..." Bliss sighed in frustration.

Papyrus' face darkened.

Sans flinched.

"...Ketchup banned for three months." Papyrus said with a dark glare.

"That was obviously accidental babbling! Why is it my fault?" Sans tried to reason with him. One month was already bad enough, and knowing Papyrus, he will probably inform everyone to stop selling Sans ketchup, including Grillby's. A respectable knight's influence is scary...

"And I will add two more months every time Bliss says a bad word, accidental or not!"

"Please have mercy..."

________________________________________

Bliss was lying on the soft cushion of the crib, dressed in a baby blue pijama.

He had never paid it much attention before, but he had to admit, this clothes were pretty comfortable...

He had never knew that clothes could be so soft and comfortable. His old clothes where nothing like this, he had already become accustomed to the itchiness, the rough and ragged material stitched up again and again after every battle. He honestly never cared much, but he had at least the little common sense to know that Monsters should not walk around naked. Not that he would mind anyways.

Bliss was starting to understand why some people even had more than one pair of clothes, which he had always thought it was useless. He mentality apologized for calling those people idiots. - Although he refused to mentality apologize to Ink, who kept changing his colorful and exaggerated outfits every damn time, like the change of the seasons. Also, regardless, Ink was a total idiot.

Bliss sighed. Was he really allowed to feel this comfortable? It felt almost suspicious how there wasn't a single suspicious thing around.

The dark room and the calming silence, even after experiencing it for some time now, all of it still felt strange to him, it was the complete opposite of what he was used to.

For years and years, that he didn't bother to count anymore, the endless white and screaming voices had become all he knew, and he managed to find a sense of security in it, because he already knew them all, all the same hurtful and cruel words, all the same endless white from which he could never hide, but at the same time nothing else could hide in the white either so no intruders could attack him without being spotted. - How many times had he been beaten up and attacked in his sleep until he finally learn his lesson? He could only thank the screams and the blinding white for keeping him awake and always alert, perhaps to the point of paranoia. - The Anti-void had because his home and at the same time, his hell. The place he would run to and hide from the rest of the Multiverse, yet at the same time, a cursed white that exposed him so he could never hide from Fate.

Only after jumping in the VOID, did he for the first discover the comfort of the empty darkness and complete devoid of sound, enough for him to ignore the pain of being torn apart and slowly scattered across time and space. It made him realize just how much he actually hated the white he had become so accustomed to.

Bliss stared around the dark room, although it wasn't completely dark like the VOID, nor the sounds were completely gone, as he could hear the faint sounds of the night.

He was still getting accustomed to such peace. Even when waiting all night, nothing happened, nothing would come to attack or torment him, and then morning would come, and a cheerful Papyrus would call his name and give him the daily 'morning hug'. And a new day full of strange peace would follow.

At some point, he found himself fearing that he would lose it all again. Just like he lost the gang.

Bliss glanced at the sleeping Papyrus, that was in a bed not very far away from the crib.

Now that Bliss had decided to prevent the Multiverse from destroying itself and keep his family and this AU safe, recovering his magic faster had become his main priority, and he couldn't just wait around for his magic to come back on its own, who knows how long it would take. From how slowly his magic was returning, if he were to wait that long, the Multiverse would probably crumble before he can open a damn portal.

Also, even if he did recover all his codes, there was a chance he would still be weaker than before, since his new Stats had zero EXP and weren't glitched which meant he now had limitations he didn't have as a glitch. So waiting around just wouldn't do.

Now that Bliss didn't have a choker hindering his magic, he could train his magic attacks and also get used to fighting with his now smaller body.

With that in mind, Bliss sat up, and teleported away, appearing outside, sitting on the roof of the Skeleton brothers' house.

It was night, the stars shined above him, and the streets were dark and silent.

Bliss looked around, searching for a good place where he could throw his magic attacks without destroying everything and accidentally killing someone. But there were buildings everywhere he looked.

He sighed. It was at times like these that he actually missed the Anti-void, although the voices kept screaming at him and he hated the white, but at the very least there he didn't have to worry about destroying something or accidentally killing someone, since the Anti-void was endless empty white. Well actually, Bliss never once had to worry about something like 'not destroying' or 'not killing', since his job was literally destroying worlds, killing billions in the process.

But he figured now he should probably be careful not to dust unrelated people or bystanders while testing his magic attacks. And causing destruction here would attract unwanted attention.

Also, since earlier, there has been some bugs following him and the Skeleton brothers around, even now he could still feel their presence nearby.

Bliss looked in the direction he felt the presence, they were hiding not very far away.

The hidden Monster didn't seem to notice the babybones' cold eye lights glowing in the darkness of the night, glaring down at them from the house's roof. As Bliss' figure blended in with the darkness.

A Dog Monster was hiding nearby, stealthily watching the house from afar to keep an eye on the Skeleton family like he was ordered to. But he was unaware that he too was being watched.

Even while staring right at the Monster hiding, Bliss had decided to leave them be for now, since killing them would probably attract more annoying things to deal with. But if they dared to even try something against his family, he will make them regret painfully until they beg for the mercy of death.

The hidden Monster suddenly felt a strong killing intent aimed at him. He shivered, his body shaking in fear, he didn't know where that scary feeling was coming from, but his instincts were screaming at him to run away.

Bliss looked away and kept searching for the perfect place to turn into his personal training ground. He then remembered the information he got from the AU's codes and looked at the far away forest beyond the walls surrounding the Monster Kingdom.

According to the AU's description, no Monster or Human lived there since it was a dangerous place, filled with poisonous plants, people-eating plants, and also mentioned something about some dangerous creatures called Beasts that mercilessly kill Monsters and Humans alike and devour their SOULs or something. Meaning no Monsters would be wandering around there at night, or at least not sane Monsters, not like Bliss would know how a sane person's head worked anyways. What he knew was that he is insane as hell and that such place was perfect for him, he would probably fit right in.

So, having already decided, Bliss teleported away again. His surroundings immediately changed and he was now sitting on soft green grass, surrounded by tall trees.

The moment he crossed the Walls, Bliss could immediately feel the difference. This place had magic coming from all directions.

He could feel many magic presences, some weaker than others, lurking around not very far away from where he was sitting. He must've teleported right into an area full of those so called Beasts, just his luck. - Since the destination was an unknown place where he had never been before, he didn't really have control over where he would appear, and just randomly teleported to any area inside the forest.

Bliss didn't know in what area of the forest he had teleported to, or how deep in he was. But he could tell he had teleported pretty far, seeing as the Monsters' magic presence he felt were now very far away.

He looked at his surroundings. Surprisingly, it was very bright here compared to the other side. Probably because of those little lights flying around everywhere. He could tell they were living creatures as he could feel their magic.

The trees were tall, their branches and leaves covering the sky, but not completely as some stars could still be seen in the small gaps felt in between the leaves.

Bliss was sitting on an small clearing. Surrounded by colorful plants and flowers of all sizes each specie glowing with its own color pattern.

He could also see many small creatures, probably weaker Beasts since they were nothing compared to the stronger magic presences he felt a bit farther away from where he was. Some Beasts looked like normal animal except very colorful -somewhat looking like they had been infected by the parasite's fresh virus- while others looked like mixture between animals, having a mythical appearance, some extra horns or wings, others were outright giant bugs -at least they seemed giant to Bliss, since their size outgrew his own, then again he now was very small.

What all those small creatures had in common is that they were all purely made of magic, unlike Monsters, and so were every other magic presence inside this forest.

While Bliss was admiring the nature around him, he then saw a giant colorful flower suddenly shot forward toward a passing white horned bunny with a weirdly long tail, the flower caught the bunny between its long petals and closed them like it was a mouth, then gulping up the small Beast whole. Before going back to its previous position and opening up its petals like nothing happened.

'So, Im guessing those are the people-eating plants mentioned in the codes.' Bliss hummed in thought before he kept looking around, unfazed.

This place kind of reminded Bliss of the Deathtrap AU Ink had created, before he battled the creator and judges.

Bliss wondered if Ink had decided to create more AUs like that one afterall. He didn't really hate that thought, since he himself had hoped Ink created something like that again, it was always better than those repetitive AUs with only small changes from the Original or copies. But then Bliss remembered how the creator liked to make hundreds of unnecessary copies of every new original AU he created. He subconsciously let out a growl.

'I will make sure his death is a very painful one.' Bliss decided, remembering all the shit he had to go through because of that fucking squid.

After he finished looking around, Bliss then got ready to begin testing his current magic attacks.

But before he could even start, at that exact moment, a colorful flower suddenly shot from under the ground in front of him.

Just as Bliss was wondering how it would feel to be swallowed alive by a monster-eating flower, he noticed that unlike the other flowers, this one had an actual face... and talked.

"Howdy!"

Bliss soon recognize the flower, '...A Flowey?' He blinked as he stared at the familiar flower, although it looked very different from what he was used to see in other AUs.

"Hmmm? What is a little kid like you doing all alone so deep inside this scary forest? Huh? Lost?" The flower sang while circling around the kid, before stopping in front of him,"I can be your guide! I know my way around here better than anyone else!" He said with a innocent looking smile.

The Monster child only blinked in response.

"Golly!" The flower gasped, "I almost forgot to introduce myself! I am Flowey, Flowey the flower."

Bliss stared at it, 'Should I kill it?' Was his first thought. There were many Timelines where the Flowey becomes quite troublesome. 'No, that wouldn't work.' Before the Human child's arrival, the Flowey has the power of reset, so killing it now would be useless since it would just come back.

Bliss tilted his head in thought. 'Ignore it for now?' He could always kill it later along with the Human when they arrive - Bliss was not risking the Human child starting a genocide and abusing the reset button. He had already taken this AU as his to protect. Not to mention the resets would eventually create new unnecessary Timelines, in which other versions of his family would be suffering. He wouldn't allow that.

Seeing no reaction from the kid, Flowey then looked closer only to realize how young the child truly was. "What? Is it too young to even understand me?" His smile fell, and turned around with an annoyed face "How boring, it's not fun if it doesn't know fear." The flower grumbled in disappointment.

While Flowey was grumbling to himself, he didn't notice the Monster child just crawling away.

"Well it doesn't matter, it will still be fun seeing it be torn apart by Beasts." Flowey decided to just throw the kid into a nest of Beasts and be done with it.

In this boring world, there was nothing else to keep him entertained, except for luring fools into Beast nests and watch them die. His face darkened as a sinister smile grew on his face.

After thinking about it, he turned around, "Hey brat-" only to notice that the kid was gone.

Flowey looked around, but couldn't find the brat anywhere, "Where did it go?"

. . .

Bliss was peaceful adventuring around the forest, he had decided that crawling on his four was much faster and easier to move around. In his current condition, walking with two feet demanded too much concentration and usually ended up with him falling, so it was annoying.

Lost in thought, Bliss took a while to finally notice the giant Beast in front of him. He must've been too distracted and didn't noticed the Beast's presence since it was weak.

It was big Beast, well, lets just say it was big enough to fit Bliss perfectly inside its mouth.

The Beast had mostly the appearance of a big gray wolf, it had long spikes on its back and a long spiky tail that resembled a scorpion tail. Its eyes glowed red as it growled, baring its sharp fangs at the Skeleton child.

Bliss sat up and stared at it. It appeared to be challenging him to a fight, or perhaps black bones are to its taste?

The giant wolf clawed at the ground before it jumped at Bliss with its opened jaws.

At that moment sharp black bones shot from the ground, pricing the Beast's whole body from below, before it could reach Bliss, and keeping it stuck in place.

The Beast growled and struggled to get free from the sharp bones, the bones eventually cracked and broke from its aggressive movements.

But although it got free, it still had black bones pirced in its flesh, and the wounds had worsened because of its violent struggles.

The Beast forced itself to stand up, and positioned for another attack.

While Bliss just sat there, casually waiting for it.

The hurt giant wolf Beast swung its long scorpion tail at the Skeleton child, aiming to cut him in half with the sharp edge of the tail.

Bliss watched the attack coming his way, in thought, 'If my current magic attacks can't end it, then,' he teleported away, the attack hit the ground where he previously was, opening a small rift and raising a cloud of dust and dirt.

The Beast noticed it missed its target and looked around for him.

Bliss appeared in the air above the Beast, 'Time to test this small body's strength.' He clenched his small hand into a fist and applied some strength into it, wrapping it in his own magic.

His body fell down towards the Beast below him, pulling his arm behind him to give it some impulse and readying a punch to finish off the Beast.

The Beast sensed his presence and turned to look up, but too late, more sharp bones shot from below the scorpion-tailed-wolf to keep it in place. It growled and struggled yet again.

'Let's just hope I don't lose an arm today.' Bliss thought, and when he was close enough he threw a punch right at the Beast's head.

There was a large impact, and sound of something cracking.

.
.
.

The Beast's body fell limp on the ground with its head completely crushed. Before it completely turned into black dust.

Bliss fell to the ground next to the large pile of dust, and sat up like it was nothing.

He felt a little sting in his right hand, and looked at it. Oh good, his arm was still there, the then looked away, completely ignoring the cracked phalanges like it was but a small scratch.

Bliss then noticed a red shiny stone landing next to him, it had the shape of a heart and he could feel a lot of concentrated magic coming from it, that was probably the Beast's SOUL.

He thought it was interesting how the Beast's SOUL didn't disappear and instead had turned into a shiny stone.

It would be disrespectful to just leave it lying around here, so Bliss picked up the big red stone with two hands and crushed it, letting the small pieces fall on top of the pile of dust. - The SOUL is the very essence of one's being, whether its a Human, Monsters, or one of these Beast creatures. That also meant that one wouldn't truly be free as long as their SOUL doesn't disappear. So the least Bliss could do for his fallen opponent was liberate it. Either that or leave it be for someone to find and abuse it as they wish.

After that, Bliss opened his STATS window and took a look at it.

He had felt his EXP raise, but that was only natural, afterall he did kill something, even if it wasn't a Monster or Human, it was still a living thing. The weird thing was that his LV didn't seem to have raised.

But after thinking more about it, it kind of made sense. In this AU, these Beasts seemed to exist merely for the purpose of being hunted and were nothing more than material sources for the Monsters or Humans. Such pitiful creatures.

If killing these Beasts raised the LV, then all Monsters hunting them for a living would have high LV. But he didn't sense any LV from Sans. Although the raising EXP did explain why the Sans had more than 1HP unlike most Sanses.

Bliss hummed in thought. If that was the case, then increasing his magic power might be easier than he originally thought. Although to Bliss killing was a natural thing, and he was already beyond the phase of feeling guilt or hesitation, he still didn't enjoy killing innocent creatures so he decided to just kill the ones that challenge him to fight. After all, If one wants to kill they should at the very least be ready to be killed themselves.

Perhaps he could also figure out how to swap to his old stats at will, that would probably be the fastest way to regain his original power, even if only for a short moment, that would be more than enough time to destroy the creator and a few AUs. And keep his family safe.

. . .

Not very far away, Flowey watched the Monster child. His eyes widened at what had seen and his figure trembled. 'What the hell is that thing? There's no way that's a child...'
