Overwhelming Sorrow

       Sanzter lay in his bed. 11:00 p.m. read his clock as he faced away from the rest of his dark room. Night lay across the Underground and yet, it always seemed like that to the skeleton. Sanzter's white eyes were dull, nothing in them, the fire before was gone. Bags had been forming beneath his sockets and they looked worse with each passing day. Sanzter felt sadness engulf him more as he thought of Doodle and what he would do if he saw him like this. But like everything else, he pushed it away, knowing Doodle was never coming back and that no one could bring him back, not even Seraphim Sans. The skeleton was curled in his bed beneath his blanket, his floof jacket, like Ganz's, expressed how he felt. With him deep in depression, the floof had disappeared completely and all that remained was a regular collar with very faint remains of it left. Sanzter had lost everything. Although he still had his brothers and friends, he knew that they were important, but none of them were over Doodle, the one he truly loved and the one he would give his life any day to. Doodle was the reason why he existed. Sanzter shut his eyes and started to drift off into slumber before saying this.

        Sanzter awoke like usual. He rose out of bed, it was 8:00 a.m. and he felt like he was getting worse. Malevolent, the demon doppelganger within him tried to reason with him to get out and go to visit his brothers or Grillby and that they were all worried for him. But Sanzter had rejected that and now, even if he heard Malevolent screaming at him and scolding him, he would ignore it. Sanzter, being stubborn as hell, didn't see any point in going to visit others as they would only bother him of his depression and Doodle. He didn't want them to nag at him about him not taking a good path. But, just this once, he felt like he needed to talk to someone. Sanzter created a portal and stepped through it before appearing in Zanx's dimension.

*uh....h-heya, z-zanx....

Sanzter approached Zanx who quickly turned around and smiled.

*for seraphim sans' sake, sanzter, don't ever reject our help again!

Zanx said as he approached his older brother, hovering down to his level, Sanzter had no expression upon his dim, dull face. Zanx narrowed his red and blue eyes at his brother before feeling anger rise from within him.

*what's wrong with you, big brother? you aren't yourself. you need to-

Sanzter suddenly snapped.

*don't tell me i need to move on!

Silence gripped the both of them as Zanx gazed at his older brother with a serious expression.

*you need to though, it's what doodle would've-

Sanzter immediately grabbed Zanx's SOUL and caused it to turn dark blue from using magic. Zanx felt gravity reverse on him and he flinched in surprise.

*yeah? and how would ya have known what d would've wanted?! he's gone now! all because i was being a pissy, scared ass little shit!

Sanzter snarled, his white eyes growing sharp as red tears started to well in his sockets. He glared at Zanx who looked at him with disgust.

*and how would doodle think if you called yourself that in front of him?

Zanx asked calmly, Sanzter went silent and dropped Zanx gently, closing his eyes then reopening them and looked at the floor.

*i-i don't know.....

Sanzter said before he turned around and headed towards the portal, Zanx was about to call to him but Sanzter went through and was already gone. Zanx stared after him, feeling his little brother's presence near.

*you know, you did go a little harsh on him.

Particle told Zanx who let out a sigh.

*i know, but if i know sanzter, that's the only way to get to him....

        Sanzter returned to his house. He appeared in front and the moment the portal disappeared behind him, he heard a snort.

"So, he's finally returned. Maybe we should've spared your precious Doodle, just so I don't have to admit that you're my pitiful brother."

Sanzter turned and recognized his younger brother, Papyrus. He didn't give any expression but showed signs of aggression.

*i don't feel like dealing with ya, ya piece of shit.

Sanzter spat, Papyrus grunted before smirking and moving as fast as lightning to Sanzter's right, ready to strike his orange bones into his brother. But then, Sanzter grabbed his SOUL and slammed him down to the snow, causing his attack to fail.

Sanzter repeated, glowering down at Papyrus with pure hatred before walking away and releasing him from his grip. Papyrus took this as his chance and quickly made his way behind Sanzter before firing a Gaster Blaster at him, landing a direct hit. Papyrus grinned, his work was finished. He was about to turn away when he felt gravity affect him. He turned his head back and saw Sanzter standing there with his sharp light blue pupils glowing brightly.

*look at what ya did. now ya pissed me off and now, you're gonna die.

Sanzter growled before throwing Papyrus around with his magic, slamming him down to the earth the last time, he leaped up and sent bone attacks down at his brother followed by his Gaster Blasters. Sanzter didn't dare give Papyrus a chance before he sent another wall of bones to rain down on him. When the smoke and dust cleared, Papyrus was nowhere to be seen, probably teleported away before he was seriously injured. Sanzter came back down to the snow before he turned away and walked to his house. Disappearing inside without another word.

        That night, Sanzter lay in is bed, thinking about everything that had happened. He let his red tears roll down his face as he thought of Doodle. He remembered when Doodle would help take care of him if he were injured or sick, how he'd always be up to draw with him, and how Doodle’s smile always brightened his day, whether filled with danger or not. He turned onto his side before he curled up into a ball and cried himself to sleep, his sockets stained with tears.

       A few days later, Sanzter made up his mind, he couldn't take it anymore. Sanzter had visited Death of Reapertale, asking him if he could reap him and get it over with. But Death denied him and said that he still had time ahead of him, but Sanzter knew that it would be useless without his light. Sanzter then returned and thought of his own way.

        Sanzter walked up to the top of the hill where he and Doodle always sat, along with he and Papyrus when they were younger, he and Toriel, Emily, Dr. Faith, and even King Asgore. He reached the top and looked down onto Snowdin Town, he stood at the edge. Malevolent knew what Sanzter was going to do, and he begged him that he didn't and that there was another way to help him. But Sanzter pushed him away and ignored his begs. Sanzter closed his eyes before he inhaled, exhaling while opening his eyes. He smiled as tears trickled down. His bones fired from below him and aimed for his broken SOUL, they stuck from the earth from different points but all hit one point. Blood soaked his clothing and it trickled down his smiling mouth. He trembled as his SOUL started breaking.
