Reform Chapter 3: A Welcome Change? Papyrus TF

A few more weeks had passed since 'Sans' became part of the barren Underground. There were now four people living here: Sans, Toriel, Alphys, and the human, Frisk. Frisk had yet to tell any of the new monsters why he was changing people into these odd forms and forcing them to act in very specific ways.

Still Toriel tried to be a good mother to Frisk, despite his commanding her to do so. The boy inside her body silently cursed each moment.

The girl who became Sans kept looking for answers, only to constantly get in trouble. Frisk refused to answer and attacked Sans with his shadow after he persisted. That lead to many fights, which Sans always lost. He was getting bitter and colder towards everyone each day. Not even Toriel, the one Sans was made for, could comfort him.

This made Frisk mad.

He decided that Sans needed something more to make him happy, then in turn make Toriel happy, and ultimately make Frisk happy.

Frisk commanded Alphys to make a new monster. He was about to set out when she suggested to make the new monster from some human who would LIKE to be a monster.

After serching on the Surface he peaked into a dark window. Frisk grinned, “I've found just the case.”

The boy awoke on a bed in a dark room. His breath was nearly freezing in the air as he laid there. He looked around curiously. This definitely wasn't the hospital he had been in. This boy has spent most of last year in bed being cared for after a car accident. The driver was drunk texting his ex girlfriend and not paying attention to the crosswalk.

He was sure this wasn't a dream either... Everything he could feel in his upper body felt real. The covers, his hospital gown, everything. The boy turned to spot another boy in a stripped sweater sitting in a chair next to his bed. “Hey, who are you? Where are we?” The bed bound boy asked, more curious then worried.

Frisk smiled to him. “You're in the Underground's special lab. And wouldn't you know it? We just found a cure for your paralysis.”

The preteen's face lit up with hope. “Really?! You can get me walking again? How?”

Not losing his smile Frisk pulled out a syringe from under the bed. “With this. It's a cure our very own scientist came up with. She's very squeamish, so I'll give it to you.”

“Wait a second...” The boy questioned. “Aren't you too young to administer medicine?”

Chuckling, Frisk shook his head. “Naw, I RUN this whole place. The lab, the Underground. I control everything here. And you're next!” With that vague threat, Frisk injected the syringe into the boy's thigh.

He felt nothing and continued to question Frisk. “How? You're just a kid. You can't be older then me too.” The boy frowned.

“First I erased everything, now I'm reforming it!” Frisk chuckled as the other boy felt something odd happening to him.

The boy gave Frisk a curious look. “What's that tingling? Wait!” He sat up and looked at his legs, which seemed to be growing longer under the covers. “I can feel them! But... why are getting bigger?”

The boy's legs also appeared to be getting thinner, yet felt stronger. “Just relax, it's all part of the 'reforming'.” Frisk laughed again.

“But, what's going on? A-As a doctor you need to tell the patent what's happening!” The boy insisted nervously. Frisk shook his head. “I'm not a doctor and I don't need to tell you anything. Just watch.” He frowned as he gave the order.

They watched on as the boy's body seemed to be disappearing before his eyes! His torso thinned out and the covers only showed the impression of his remaining pelvis and spine!

He screamed in horror. “No! Stop it!” Frisk just laughed some more as the boy's body continued to thin out. Now he could watch as his arms change. They were exposed above the covers. Simultaneously, both  turned white and thinned into nothing but bone. All the flesh and muscle faded from existence.  

Soon all that remained of the boy's body was bones. He looked like what he saw on his x-rays. However it was super creepy actually being able to move the x-rays!

“This isn't a cure!” The boy yelped and held out his arms away from himself. He wanted to jump right out of his own changing body!

“Yeah it is!” Frisk frowned to him. “It's just not done!”

The boy turned his head to Frisk. “T-there's MORE?” He asked alarmed. As if to answer him, the boy's skin began to thin on his face, which was also growing. The changes lengthen his face as his jaw became more squared. His eyes faded into nothing as did his hair.

“My face!” The boy shivered and cringed. “And what happened to my voice?!” It became much, much louder!

Frisk smiled happily, despite the other boy's fright. “You are just fine, Papyrus. Now get dressed so we can see your brother.”

The new skeleton looked to Frisk confused, “Who's Papyrus? And I don't have a brother. I'm a only child.”

Frisk frowned. “No dumb questions! Just get up and get changed!” He demanded, pointing to a bathroom.

“But...” The boy was unsure what to do. He felt his legs were stronger, but he was also afraid to test them out. What if they didn't work...?

He slowly lifted himself up and slid to the edge of the bed. He placed down his right foot, then his left.
With a push, he stood!

“I'm standing!” He beamed happily. He took a wobbly step, then another, then another. “I can't believe it!” He then took a look at his bare-bone legs. “But, when's my skin going to grow back?” He asked, turning to Frisk, who was now much smaller then him.

“Never.” Frisk replied dryly. “You're a skeleton now. You don't need flesh, magic is holding you together!”

The new skeleton frowned, “But won't I scare people looking like this?”

“Don't worry. Where you're going to live, you won't see any people around.” Frisk chuckled a bit at his statement.

Papyrus frowned. He was quite surprised he still could move his mouth in that way, “But aren't you a per-”

Frisk cut him off. “Hurry up and get dressed. That hospital gown is far too short on you now...”

Papyrus looked down and blushed a bit. He then made his way into the bathroom and found an... odd assortment of clothes in there for him.

He came out dressed in some kind of armor and a cape. “Am I some kind of super hero now?” He asked Frisk, with a hint of a smile.

“Papyrus sure thought he was...” Frisk shrugged.

“Now I can go help people like they've been helping me my whole life!” Papyrus smiled wider at the thought.

So did Frisk. “That's great! You'll fit right in.”

With that statement Frisk lead Papyrus to his new home in Snowdin, a place covered in snow. Sans was supremely unhappy Frisk made another person into a monster, but he didn't have much energy to argue it now a days. He also didn't want to get into another fight he'd lose.

Sans did accept his new brother, and did enjoy his youthful antics. Toriel did as well. Alphys remained in the lab, hidden from everyone, until Frisk needed her once more.
