(I Was) Stronger Than You

As Sans hastily staggered through the forest from where he landed, hoping to find some way to get back and at least die in a world he knew, a world he remembered, a world where his friends...

Mid-thought as Sans hobbled down the path various animal looked on, some had eyes the size of dinner plates yet they did nothing but watch.

maybe even the dark fears skeletons?

Sans let the thought pass as he had more important things to do than make jokes about his surroundings,

Maybe I send a chill up their spine? Hehehe

Okay, maybe he did have some time for that, but regardless of the comedic factor he had no idea and his situation was only getting worse as his wound opened again and was leaving a sanguine trail straight to him, worse of all it was ruining the jacket his brothers had given him... Pushing through the pain he kept running until he heard a loud sound of something phasing into existence, he couldn't describe it better than that. As he ran he slowed down and stopped after a few moments,

Thats the same sound Gaster's machine made before the accident!

Sans bolted left towards the source of the disturbance, abandoning the trail hoping for the best, best case scenario: someone else made it out and was here to help, worst case scenario: she somehow made it here. He could only hope it was the former or some other option as even though he knew nothing of this world, no one deserved what happened to his world. When he reached the source of the noise he found a crater with a tall ragged cloaked figure standing in the middle of it, Sans withheld his voice until he saw the person reach up to rub their chin in thought as they appeared to be talking to themselves.

"Now what plane did I end up in now?" He said in a voice that could only be described as heavily distorted while he gargled gravel.

All joking aside Sans was watching intently for one thing, his hand, when his hand reached his chin he saw what he had dared to hope for, a skeletal hand. Sans almost couldn't contain his excitement for a moment, but when he realized the chances of that actually happening were near impossible considering the explosion in the lab. If it couldn't be his lost brother, who was this man?
