This is BloodDust an au timeline created by Salas Or The Seal Jaw
BloodDust is based off of dusttale by Osteophile, it takes place in a AU very similar to normal Undertale but with a twist.
Story: (Partially a WIP)
In Undertale if you bully a Loox 3 times before you kill it you get extra exp.
So… if just simply bullying gives a significant exp increase then what if we went more extreme, say actual torture? That is the basis of BloodDust.
Actually Sans (Dusttale Sans) didn’t try it first, it was the player who did it first. After 2 routes of the player using torture to get even stronger Sans noticed how the player seemed a lot stronger than normal so he decided to observe them. He was horrified by what he found, but… he knew what he had to do.
In the ruins he felt nothing but shame about everything he was doing. He couldn’t bear having to look others in the eyes or have others look at his face so he tightened his hood to try to hide as much as possible.
Throughout Snowdin he slowly started to enjoy torturing others but yet he hated it at the same time, his feelings contradicted each other completely, leaving him extremely confused and conflicted. Until it came time to torture and kill Papyrus, now his emotions contradicted each other way more than evet before, he was disgusted by himself but yet found himself getting some kind of sadistic enjoyment out of it, until the moment he finally finished Papyrus off, his mind suddenly snapped unable to handle the contradictory emotions he was feeling, unable to mentally handle everything he was doing, and in an attempt to help cope with his contradictory feelings his mind split into two different personalities separating the contradiction into almost different people, the first and main personality being completely regretful but yet still understanding that this is what needs to be done, meanwhile the other personality is completely sadistic, enjoys every moment of torturing.
Throughout the remaining areas his main personality, although still ashamed and regretful started to become more humorous about everything and cracked jokes to themselves and their victims, even if they still hated every moment of it, meanwhile, the other personality only grew stronger and more sadistic with each new torture. Whenever he fought Undyne his determination greatly increased, and that’s where the “blood” on his face first came from although it’s actually determination in a liquid form. But there’s not really much notable about the rest of the areas other than that. (For now, areas will be reworked in the future)
And that brings us to the last corridor, BloodDust is almost completely as strong as the player just ever so slightly behind in terms of determination, so close that save points are starting to glitch out, although the player is still determined enough to use them even if just barely.
Personality:
BloodDust's mood often shifts between calm but regretful, to full on sadistic and psychotic, the calmer personality is the default acting similarly to normal Sans but more dark and serious. When in his normal personality BloodDust severely regrets all of his actions, and will still mess around and play jokes on the player (although the jokes tend to be a lot more violent), in his second personality BloodDust is far more cruel and actively enjoys everything he has done, a complete sadist, psychotic to the core.
Basic Attacks:
He has a lot of the same abilities as dust such as blasters bones ect, but blood dust does a lot more damage and for the blasters the colors are changed to match his eye colors, and the bones are sharp, and yes he still can turn the player blue.
Patterns:
His attack patterns tend to be quite different, they usually are more violent and slow but difficult to avoid (the attacks Will be faster for each phase except for phase 4), for example he might make an attack that is a guillotine made out of bones or he might ram blasters into you instead of firing them
Unique Abilities:
His karma is replaced with an ability called bleed. It takes off much less HP and is much slower but will not stop at 1HP and will kill you.
BloodDust dust is just barely below the power of the player, but he has an ability that gives him an advantage if the player is below half HP, they are greatly weakened, and in that moment he is stronger than a player.
Weapons:
His main weapon of choice is a whip made out of papyrus's spine, but he can also use Asgore's Trident and Undyne's spear but he only has one of each.
Phases and Endings:
BloodDust has a total of four phases
Phase 1 is simply him messing around with you, intentionally trying to anger you (somewhat similar to how Sans would in the classic fight) Admittedly he has become a bit overconfident over time, until you manage to hit him.
Phase 2, Now he’s going to take things seriously. That hit was enough to make him realize he’ll have to try harder and he might be a little bit mad. Although his alternate personality is slowly starting to take over throughout the fight, until the player manages to deal fatal damage. The player cuts off his arm it drops to the floor and immediately melts like an amalgamate as it hits the ground and soaks into the floor.
Phase 3, finally his alternate personality comes out, despite taking enough damage to the point that he should have died, he refuses. He finds the fighting enjoyable and he’s practically leaking determination, but despite everything the player succeeds, but he doesn’t die quite yet.
Phase 4, the final phase and probably one of the easiest, Sans starts completely melting into an amalgamate. Although the attacks do extremely high damage and are a tight squeeze to get through, the attacks are extremely slow making it rather easy, all you have to do is survive a bit until eventually he melts completely the remaining puddle soaking down into the floor, The player resets and the cycle continues. Except for one thing, Sans completely disappears, even after a reset he was completely unable to be brought back. And that’s ending number 1, the main ending.
There are two other endings to Blooddust
Ending 2 occurs if the player has less than half HP during the transition to the fourth phase, or if they die during the fourth phase, Sans just barely has enough power to quickly steal the player's Soul and finish them off, he tries to absorb the soul but it was too late, before he can manage to absorb it he melts into the ground leaving neither of them with the soul, without their soul the player cannot reload or reset, so the world continues to live on as this timeline.
And Lastly ending 3, this ending occurs if the player dies during phase 2, or has less than half HP before cutting off his arm, his ending results in Hyper BloodDust (HBD for short)

Hyper BloodDust:
In ending 3, after Sans beats the player and absorbs their soul he completely breaks from the amount of power, both sides of his personality combine back into one leaving almost nothing left of him mentally.
He immediately starts feasting on the player’s flesh both because he is disgusted by them and doesn’t want to have to see them in front of him and also just to try to feel something, but he’s already far gone.
Almost nothing left remains of his mind except for newfound goal, get stronger and get rid of everything. He believes that destroying everything will make things better, that everything will rebuild itself from the ground up to be far better if it is destroyed.
So first he begins to hunt for any remaining monster in the underground. Making sure to leave no one left behind.
After killing every remaining monster in the underground that went in hiding, he finds the six souls after a long, long time of searching and absorb them for himself, moving on to the surface to continue his goal.
He’s not just broken mentally he’s also broken physically, technically he’s partially an amalgamate, but he has so much determination inside him that it’s both melting and tearing him apart yet also keeping him together at the same time, so he’s melting a bit but not enough to be a full amalgamate. Liquid determination literally runs through his bone marrow and his body rapidly over produces it.
